Thanks.  I thought about this too, but figured if I could just write an 
appropriate x&;: and uni2Puny (which I'd have to do anyway), and applied ". , 
that would be enough. That is, I wouldn't have to write my own parser, or 
understand or adapt the one in trace.

But I'm interested in why you concluded this.  Can you give me a little 
background on the project and why you think trace would have done a better job?

I can see how writing my own parser would allow me to support sentences like:

         ← =: =:

... but I'm not sure that's worth it to me.  I don't prefer it, but I think I'm 
ok with forcing my users to write copulae the standard way.
