Can anyone give me some quick pointers on how to use xml2gbs to

I itching to try out, and for now I have resorted to deleting the
extra material using a Perl script so I can compile using osis2mod.
1. Do I need to compile SWORD from SVN?
At a minimum. Even with Sword from SVN, I'm not sure there are any
frontends that can display GenBook Bibles and I don't know that the
whole implementation within Sword itself is completed.
Maybe I need to sit tight for awhile. If anyone wants a source file to
play with, I have one (including permission for CrossWire to
distribute). Should I put the KJV-only version (wink wink) into beta or
just sit tight?
2. Do I have to do anything special to the OSIS (I tried xml2gbs once,
and it quit after a few verses I think.)? The structure is BSP, not BCV.
You shouldn't need to do anything to your Bible, assuming it is encoded
with the correct OSIS book IDs. That said, I don't recall whether I have
ever attempted to import a book with milestoned chapter/verse elements
and I don't recall having written anything in xml2gbs to handle these
elements. So it may be that the BSP style is causing your problems.
OSIS file validates except for a section in Daniel which uses the
Dan.3.90!+ format, which is forbidden in OSIS. Perhaps I will need to
use x instead of +, but it's a bummer to change it from the printed
version. I guess it's a moot point until front-ends start supporting
alternative versification.
Milestoned verse elements are a real pain, but it's hard to do anything
but canonical text unless you use them. There's no way to handle
paragraphs and poetry, unless I'm mistaken.
