I'm reading this.  I think August 20th is an achievable deadline for my
section.

The main issue I face is that a lot of the clusters don't seem to have much
meaning.  I've tried to create a standard meaning for them, but many, even if
they could mean something, seem artificial.  So we've got a few options:

1) completely exclude the less useful/used combinations
2) define them, but don't create keywords for them
3) create keywords, but they'll be pretty lousy keywords

We also need good example sentences for some of them.  So closer to the due
date, I'll probably be writing the list begging for help with examples.
