Chris, I think he uses HTML5, and I don't think that is implemented
on all platforms.

I think the linking of sentences is an interim feature while he works
out tagging for individual words.

The tagging info in the NASB XML file includes Strongs numbers and morphology.
For the OT, the morphology is limited to the verbs, and doesn't
include person,
but that is enough for our use.
We have the Strongs dictionary with Unicode Hebrew and extended
definitions from the abbreviated BDB
(I gave Troy my corrected version, which he has turned into XML)
So I don't think we are missing any data.

Having said that, he might be a useful addition to the team!

I'm away for a few days.
If it is really important or really interesting, you could send it to Relay2DB2010@Gmail.com
and I'll probably read it.
Otherwise I'll deal with your email when I'm back.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
