Certainly there is no rule against including a pointer to an online
grammar. I would encourage those as have them to do so. Not all of us
have net access on demand, though, so the pertinent grammar sketch /
interlinear information should be included even if you point to a
grammar. Alternatively, those of us who have grammars that exist as a
wordprocessor file (Word Perfect, etc.) can offer that file as an
attachment, if the translator wants more information.

Nope. The Gods are bountiful this week. ;)
