this is what the input to kpml looks like, using a functional grammar it then
puts out something quite appropriate in the desired language. i may be wrong,
but the presented logical form to me seems close to a lojban syntax tree. i
am going to try to find out about the specs of these logical forms, if that
is of any relevance to our problem.

(EXAMPLE

    :NAME   3-D-TIME2
    :GENERATEDFORM   "1899 berief Ernst Ludwig ihn nach der
    : Kuenstlerkolonie." TARGETFORM   "1899 berief ihn (der Grossherzog)
    : Ernst Ludwig in die

Kuenstlerkolonie nach Darmstadt."
