I cannot see any causal relationship between "widely deployed" and "enormous cost"; the cost would surely be much the same were there just a handful of users, would it not ? On the other hand, the number of parsers is small and finite; how many input method editors are there for all the world's natural languaqes, I wonder ? That is surely where the real cost would lie, were we to adopt Henri's preferred solution. Philip TAYLOR
