Now that you point that out, I think that is a mistake in the spec. Your
version makes a lot more sense.
Thank you for going into the gory details of the algorithm, there were a
few other things tripping me up that you clarified.
I was going crazy yesterday trying to piece together what is supposed to
happen for, e.g., using INTERSECT to connect the recursive and the
non-recursive parts, and this answers it. I'm not suggesting that we
require support for INTERSECT, but my curiosity got the best of me.
