Sure, with a better-than-LR(1) parser we could make grammar changes that would "simplify" or "improve" the language. The time to do that was 10 years ago. We are out of the language design phase, and merely trying to document the *completed* language, fixing things that are undocumented or broken. It isn't broken, so we don't need to fix it; save it for "Son of Lojban". lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)
