Not really. We had utterance in there also equivalent to TLI's grammar, 
but when we added in the grammar of strings and chains of utterances 
(paragraphs and larger chunks, along with parentheticals), it seemed less 
appropriate (it also helped us in the copyright situation to use different 
words where it made sense to do so).

Text is something larger than a TLI utterance which I think corresponds to 
a subset of our "paragraph" rules.
