Very much so. Some of my initial principles were (1) no parts of speech other than substantives (2) maximum compression without falling into lexical or syntactic ambiguity, and (3) complete regularity. I am a syntax and morphology guy; that I am not much interested in phonology and pragmatics is pretty obvious from the grammar, although I am awed by the projects of conlangers that have elaborate systems of phonological rules or entire cultural codes embedded in them.

did. I am writing the document in WordPerfect 10. I just used the "Publish to HTML" command in the File Menu, and uploaded the result to Geocities without any changes. According to the Geocities editor, there are a few HTML errors in the code, but clearly nothing fatal. Unfortunately, though, the HTML that WordPerfect 10 produces is an unreadable (and hence uneditable) scramble of largely unnecessarily detailed code. I don't know how the MS Word "Publish to HTML" command compares. - Nat
