5.50 hours: DVPP: Implemented the first phase of generating on-the-fly hierarchy-transformed versions of poems so that we can create both normalized and page-based views of each poem for site users (as opposed to editors). This requires first reprocessing the rendition/selector stuff, as well as converting the hierarchy and massaging ids to make sure they're unique. It may make sense to do this as part of generating XML versions of the poems initially, then process those versions, but right now I'm assuming that it's all done in memory as a first stage in creating XHTML5. Also wrestling with unwanted namespace declarations which are making HTML invalid; no solution there yet.
