Guido said he *wanted* to reject it, and that there would be no more 
pronouncement until after the language summit. I think you should wait 
until after the summit before declaring it categorically rejected, 
perhaps somebody will persuade Guido to change his mind :-)

But either way, thanks for tackling this, the threads about syntax were 
monsterous and I ran out of steam trying to keep up with it all long 
ago.
