Hmm.  I don't have the machine parser handy, but in this case, doesn't the
{xu} attach to {maikl.} or {doi maikl.}?  So it's really "Is it you that
I'm talking you?  Oh, and this is a one of your cruel statements".  We use
{xu} initially a whole lot to make a sentence a question, but that's
because it attaches to the {.i} and thus to the sentence as a whole.  Or am
I misreading the parse here?
