Any reason why this is preferred to a simple KOhA? Also, it would be nice if we could just use {ke'a} for it. Its function is very similar, and the problems that might arise in rare cases of embedding arise already anyway as it is, so in theory subscripts have to be used. (In practice I don't think this is needed enough to be a problem.) Jorge
