We did discuss, on a slightly more general level, that this solution 
will not cover all the possible cases and, because the format of the 
body and target is completely open-ended, it is impossible to cover 
them. It was agreed that this solution covers the vast majority of the
 cases (the magic 80/20 cut…) and we would stop there.
