Bryan- I must take issue with your comment: "Wel if one gets abstract enough just about everything is a language. If a meta language has to possess all the normally defined qualities of a 'language' whatever these are, then yes a 'meta-language' is a language." So, if I may substitute noun for noun, adjective for adjective, what you're saying is equivalent to: If a brown cat has to possess all the normally defined qualities of a 'cat' whatever these are, then yes a 'brown cat' is a cat. This of course is a tautology. A meta language IS a language. That's why it's not called a meta frobitz! Regards, Bill XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
