Ciao Thomas, c pa, Mat & others... Great stuff. Very useful.
I personally see immediate good use cases for it: For instance, inline clarifications of Middle English words in an ebook version of Chaucer's "A Canterbury Tales". I can also see other interesting apps for "verbal games". SUGGESTION: I'm not sure if it would be feasible but one could really go places with this is IF expansions/contractions could be NESTED.
