We have relied on the OSHB text without systematically comparing it to the text found at tanach.us.

We should do a comparison, categorize any differences we find, and discuss them. This should not be done as a one-off, we need tooling to do this, and we need tooling for both:

  1. Providing input to an expert for expert opinion, and
  2. Unit tests

This may include differences in choice of Unicode characters for a particular character, differences in cantillation, etc.

So far, we have relied on consonant-only comparisons, which are good enough to identify corresponding morphemes. We may not know exactly what to do with the things we learn by looking at every character until we see what the differences are and think about them systematically.
