Hi Michael, > I guess it comes down to interpretation of language - a problem with > all specs - but to me a pattern is "a single defining aspect" of the > lexical space, not the value space.

The value space and the lexical space are related, after all, so if a facet constrains the value space then it constrains the lexical space and if a facet constrains the lexical space then it's likely to also constrain the value space (though not necessarily, of course). BTW, if you're enjoying swimming in the muddy water of what facets constrain, then you should explore the whiteSpace facet, which "constrains" the value space by allowing *more* lexical representations to reflect values in that space that would otherwise be permitted.
