Nora, you were right. The above is fine, but there are other problem. Backing up through ZOI *should* allow one to replace the delimiter with any other delimiter, but you can't replace a non-SI delimiter with SI. Furthermore, my parser turns ZOI-clause + SA + ZOI + SI into nothing, but it should be the start of a SI delimited ZOI clause. Sigh. I'm hashing this out over on the wikidiscuss list (i.e. with the BPFK and others). My preferred solution is to outlaw SI as a ZOI delimiter. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
