That's what I'm working on right now.  The release candidate 1for SWIS 
will be able to handle document display.

Currently, I've removed glossing from STML so that it focuses 
exclusively on SignText documents.  I'm trying to integrate cascading 
style sheets so that it's easy to change the appearance of a document.

Some type of markup will handle glossing.  I'm going to allow multiple 
glosses for each sign.  It will look something like
<sign>
<gloss>first gloss</gloss>
<gloss>second gloss</gloss>
...
</sign>

For a gloss to be associated with more than one sign, you'll need to 
repeat the gloss for each sign.  An additional index can keep track of 
which signs are associated with which glosses.  That's how SignPuddle 
currently works.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I'm really excited about SWIS.  I'll 
be more excited when I have the SignText plug-in ready.

Regards,
-Steve
