Right. Now, the downside to the way you put it is that that can't
possibly be the proper logical formulation, since the list of
possible answers is infinite.

Except that none of these is a proper answer, merely an ellipsis from a
proper answer. The answer to a direct question is a full bridi, just as the
questiion is.  
By the way, one thing you said is right: this makes explaining direct
questions on the basis of indirect the easiest way to go, once the principle
gets established.
