So this only replaces >one ambiguity with another, smaller one. They have a different lexical space but the processing requirements for their common lexical space is equivalent.

And regardless of how different those are, we should remove ambiguity from specifications, not add them or trade one for another. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
