in looking at some of the text from rfrank's "roundless" experiment, there's a chunk of a book which contained 192 lines that got changed. a closer analysis showed _80_ of those lines (over 40% of the total) were unchanged except that a spacey-quotemark had been fixed... however, since the repair of spacey-quotemarks can be _automated_, that means all of those 80 lines could have been corrected in advance. if you really want roundless to work, you have to do it correctly... -bowerbird
