I was also confused about the
1. <or>
2. <list v="weather"/>
3. </or>
I understand the simple copy-paste philosophy that you propose, but how
often would you ever need to re-use a sequence of more than, say 4 words,
making it actually worthwile to put it into a list for re-use? I'd guess:
Never.
I'd say that lists have an implicit <or> so the rule could be written
1.
<rule>
2. <match lemma="estació" tags="n.f.*"><select lemma="season" tags=
"n.*"/></match>
3. <match tags="pr"/>
4. <list v="weather"/>
5. </rule>
I imagine that its much more common that you need to mix lists of words
with lemmas like this
1. <rule>
2. <match list="spatial_prepositions"/>
3. <match list="nouns_that_might_be_spatial"/>
4. ...
5. </rule>
(I just made this up, hope it gives sense)
Note also that if we leave the simple copy-paste philosophy that you
propose it would be better to use the above syntax.
If we keep the simple copy-paste philosophy that you propose, I'd use
another word, like <include>, that clearly indicates that there is no logic
beyound copy-paste
Then it would look like: http://pastebin.com/Mc172B5N
1. <include-defs>
2. <include-def n="weather">
3. <or>
4. <match lemma="pluja"/>
5. <match lemma="núvol"/>
6. </or>
7. </include-def>
...
1. <rule>
2. <match lemma="estació" tags="n.f.*"><select lemma="season" tags=
"n.*"/></match>
3. <match tags="pr"/>
4. <include v="weather"/>
5. </rule>
