+Gazetteer PR creates a Lookup annotation for every gazetteer
+entry it finds in the text. One can also specify an annotation type
+(fifth column) specific to an individual list. In the example below,
the first column refers to the list name, the second column to the
-major type, and the third to the minor type. These lists are compiled
-into finite state machines. Any text tokens that are matched by these
-machines will be annotated with features specifying the major and
-minor types. Grammar rules then specify the types to be identified in
-particular circumstances. Each gazetteer list should reside in the
-same directory as the index file.

In addition, the gazetteer allows arbitrary feature values to be associated
with particular entries in a single list. ANNIE does not use this capability,

+The Default ANNIE Gazetteer now allows a user to specify different annotation
types
+to be used for annotating entries from different lists. For example, a user
may want to
