I'd add: 5. It appears (to dwheeler) to be more complicated to define and to implement. 6. This is "partial dedenting" approach is backwards-compatible with the current spec, and thus could be added *later* if desired. The more I look at this, the more complicated it gets. I'd rather document it as a potential future extension/direction, and not try to get this into sweet-expressions version 1.0. --- David A.
