Ehm... considering both solutions worked and the quoted paragraph, shouldn't we read it as 'the results of this sequence can be used during the translation phase, but are thrown away after the translation has completed'. This would mean that the results are not discarded prior to translation, but after translation and that would also explain why the two solutions work... --Frank
