The current proposal does not cover grammar rules explicitly. If at all, I would regard that as a later extension once the lexical information is in place. Also, my limited understanding of the topic does not even allow for coming up with a data model to cover grammar rules, or to know whether there is something like sufficiently widely accepted models to represent grammar, or if there are still discussions whether Chomsky or Systemic Functional Grammars or whatever else would make the cut...
Regarding "word" vs "expression" - I do not care much about the actual term, and it seems that both seem valid. With the suggested change from "meaning" to "word sense" though, it might make more sense to keep "word" here. But as said, no strong opinion here. I definitively see that saying that <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/carry_coals_to_Newcastle> is a "word" is kinda weird. "expression" would fix that. Any further opinions?
