Indented def? Implies you are on 2.1 since nested 
functions are iffy (IMHO) in earlier versions...

Since I can't really see a goiod reason to use 
them here why not just dedent the nrested functions?

Here's the line that returns the /tr
result is not being changed from the initial ""
up to this point. I think this line should be 
indented to be the return value of then nrested 
function???

I really don't like nested functions much, 
unless its for functions that return functions
and for those I'd prefer a real lambda 
- see a previous post! :-)

This is never executed because of the return 
above...
