Groan! I now see how clumsy I can get when I try to explain
something...
The point of the entire UTL project, Ray, is that one makes the input
directly on UTL, so one gives the computer an easy tractable text
which it can translate well to NLs. This is very different of the
traditional approach of inserting an interlingua between source and
target natural language.
