For me it is not importing. I think pc might say {ro lu'a lo'i broda}
is nonsense when {lo'i broda} is the empty set.

I wouldn't know how to check that. Would you say for example that
this page is wrong:

http://www.wabash.edu/depart/Phil/classmaterials/Phil3F99/Phil3txt/Phil3txt7/Phil3txt73/Phil3txt733.html

When it moves very freely from restricted form (Ax:Sx)Px
to unrestricted Ax(Sx->Px)

I did. I think the introduction of the +/- notation in this
round of the discussion was a big step forward, as we can now
avoid the "A entails I, no it doesn't, yes it does" silliness.
Everybody agrees that A+ entails I+ and that A- does not
entail I+.
