enough parser on the market, there will be plenty of people motivated 
enough to write compliant "programs" directly into it.  I see this thing 
eventually taking a pretty good bite out of Wikipedia's market share. The 
way it'll work, for the forseeable future, I think, is that we will work 
heavily with corporate clients on what kinds of words and statements they 
would like their customers and employees to be directly executable.  Trying 
to do everything for everyone all at once is simply a prescription for a 
major disaster.  I see many clients supplying the dictionaries themselves.

Funny, but I think we're gonna need alot of help from MIT's AI robotics 
department before that becomes anywhere close to feasible.
