I want to be sure I understand you:

1) How does what you write above fit in with the proposals under discussion.
Does this support "comprehensive entailment"? Is this something different?

2) Were you answering the first or second question of mine above?

3) Is your answer "yes" "no" or "unknown"? You say "well, I think it comes
down to what you do with what you have derived", help me to understand this
more concretely -- i.e. so I can include your position in a summary.
