Once you strip away all of the philosophical? The point of the philosophical inquiry is to see if by stepping back we can come to some more general conclusion than the stark opposition of "Is so", "Is not", "Is so, twizot!" where we started. As for your formulation: deprecation requires definition, so we have: disallow, aka "forbid" define as literal, aka "literal" define as URI reference, aka "absolutize" Remember that this mailing list was begun because we couldn't get past this place. -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis um dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
