I didn't say that Phase 1 will necessarily have multiple semantics. I said that Phase 1 must already have a plan for Phase 2. But if we include constraints in Phase 1 then we might need to deal with multiple semantics already in Phase 1. (As we discussed, the semantics of constraints is not first-order.) --michael
