| As I mentioned, because it was creating an overlap in categories --
| though I admit potentially the overlap is due only to differing
| defintions for "featural".
So if the definition of "featural" proposed by Ken is used the problem
goes away?
I used it in a new revision of my site (1.54), but looking at it again
I am not happy with it. I think I'll set aside some hours to go
through everything again with a smaller set of classes, and try to
find out what misfits are left over. That should give a better
background for solving this.
| I don't know just what definition Ken was using and how it compared
| with that presented in B&D.
Nor do I. I sort of understood his, but not D&B / B&D's.
