So this is related to your question but somewhat orthogonal to it.  Still, 
you may find it of interest.

There's a qt-based app called bibletime you may wish to look at.  It uses 
the rather large sword bible-resource libraries from crosswire.org which 
include over 200 Bible translations, commentaries, concordances, 
dictionaries as sword modules... some of which are free as in code and/or 
free as in no-cost, while others are not so freely licensed and may 
require an unlock key from their publisher. The gtk-based alternative if 
you'd prefer that is called xiphos and there's similar software for other 
platforms.

Being of an age where I used to carry around a briefcase full of paper 
books I remember finding it rather gratifying to have all that and more on 
one of early generation 1.5 netbooks (when they'd graduated to having 100+ 
GB 2.5-inch standard drives available and a bit more memory than the 
originals but were still on the first generation 32-bit-only Intel Atom 
CPUS).  Of course these days the smartphone alternatives, both local and 
internet-based, will be the more popular, but some of us still prefer a 
not quite so cramped screen and real keyboard while still being quite 
portable.

I believe the sword modules are XML based tho I've never investigated.  In 
any case, both bibletime and xiphos depend on their respective toolkit 
webengines (qtwebengine for bibletime, webkit-gtk for xiphos) for parsing 
and display so it's a reasonable assumption that the sword modules are 
/some/ sort of html/xml/similar based.
