I wouldn't mind seeing all of these move into the data section. There's no point having a data section if we're not going to be consistent about how we use it, and if we're not going to try very, very hard to keep our criteria objective (i.e., no arguments like "the Jargon file can stay but the Bible has to go"). I don't really regard bible-kjv-text as a technical document, but... :) If I understood the proposal correctly, bible-kjv and verse would both go into the new data section. "verse" because it's designed to work only with only one data file -- bible-kjv. -- G.
