Chris, Not that I would find any personal use in the dictionaries, I think they are great. Hopefully, these will set the stage for osis to model this into it's schema.
I've got some work to do on JSword to get them to display properly in BibleDesktop. Currently it is using a "plain text" filter. And the performance is terrible, because of how JSword slurps the entire module to display the entire list of words. I didn't see any TEI to HTML filters in Sword, so I guess there is some work to do there too. I was a bit surprised by the collation of some of the words. Any word with an accent is collated "out of order". For example Ā is sorted after Y (there are no words beginning with Z) in the Anglo-Saxon Dictionary. It appears that it is comparing the bytes and not the characters (let alone the code points of the characters). Also, TEI entry and entryFree and superEntry tags define the attribute "key" to be used to control the collation of the words. Can this be leveraged? Related, when doing a lookup should we allow lookup without the diacritics?
