Please note, however, that your expectations should not include being able to control the presentation that everyone will use with an open Bible translation. One of the first things I saw with the World English Bible was that people would freely strip out even the most basic formatting, like poetic line breaks, paragraph breaks, etc., for use in their applications. Such is the destiny, at least in some cases, for a Public Domain modern English Bible. Of course, that doesn't stop you from formatting it how you like when you do your own conversions to HTML, PDF, etc.
By the way, I think you missed the opportunity to produce the first completely free (Public Domain) modern English translation of the Holy Bible, as your web site proclaims you are trying to do.
Carry on, though. Perhaps your translation will appeal to a different audience than the others.
The more people reading and heeding God's Word, the better. ;-)
