That seems weird to me.

I would expect the seltau and the tertau to have some relation such that Xi 
= Yj, or multiple such equalities. The participle should also be possible 
value, so call that X0 and Y0, and the equation still holds. So then the 
vagueness lies solely in these index mappings.

Allowing for any number of "omitted selbri", strikes me a taking it too far 
--one could mean almost anything then.
