Just because I noticed nobody saying anything about this: as long as *only* three-dots-long strings are replaced, I don’t think there’s any problem. The script *must* however avoid anything with more (or less) than three dots. This sometimes happens (I’ve been in a dot-counting edit-note discussion about a song or album name which did this), and sequences of ellipses and normal dots are *not* pretty. Just for the record, allowing correct* typographical marks on MB has my enthusiastic +1. (*: read “pretty”) I can’t wait for the discussion about whether « ‘cause » or « ’cause » is the correct abbreviation for “because” :D -- Bogdan Butnaru _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
