; Sample problem: "Kim does sleep"
; DPF 6-Feb-02 - Changed MOOD indicative to indicative* in order to support
; coordination of e.g. yes-no questions and modal_subj declaratives. Same in

; DPF 13-Mar-02 - But this allowed "want" version of "like" to be complement.
; So instead make do_aux_word stamp indicative* for its own MOOD, and not
; copy it up from complement dtr. Then require complement dtr to be simply
; MOOD indicative. And by the way broke link from "do" to bse_aux_verb_word
; which insists on making the aux verb's TAM identical to its INDEX, which we
; can't have for "do".

; DPF 27-Nov-99 - Made KEYREL.LBL identified with COMPS..KEYREL.LBL,
; to avoid assymetry of LBL for VM, which was causing errors
; for e.g. "it is really going to be". This used to lose a possible ambiguity
; for e.g. "kim is not sleeping", since the support_rel will always be in
; the scope of the negation, regardless of whether the "not" attaches to
; "be" or to the complement phrase.
; DPF 01-Mar-00 - But now that we've eliminated support_rels, it may work ok.

; *** Identity BE ***
; For now, exclude gerundive complements, to avoid semantically anomalous
; reading for "Kim is sleeping"
; DPF 08-Jan-00 Made COMP be nom_rel instead of reg_nom_rel, to allow "Tuesday
; is my last day" and "that's him".
; DPF 22-Feb-01 - Added ALTMIN restriction on SUBJ to prevent free relatives
; from appearing in subject position, to get the contrast of "I admire what
; you are" vs. "*I admire what are you" (and cf. "I admire what is best").
; DPF 26-Aug-01 - Added MIN nom_rel to SUBJ, like for COMP, to avoid having
; measure_nps in subject position.
; DPF 19-Oct-02 - Removed identification of PRONTYPE on SUBJ and COMP, since
; this blocks "it is I/me" "that's me" etc.
; DPF 27-Apr-03 - Removed [COMPS..PRD -] since this prevents 'today is December
; third', and it's not clear what it was blocking. (Nor is it clear why
; 'third' has to be [PRD +].)
; DPF 10-Jun-03 - Try identifying SORT values of subj and comp.
; DPF 5-Sep-03 - Don't understand comment of 22-Feb-02 above, but clearly
; free relatives can be subjects of identity copula: "What he does is your
; problem". So removed this constraint.
; DPF 18-dec-03 - Keeping identity of SORT values is too hard - e.g. "The
; cabin is a good place to stay".
; DPF 30-aug-04 - Removed PRONTYPE real_pron from SUBJ, since it
; prevented "consultant hiring is a disadvantage" with N-N-cmpnd subject NP.
; Leave on COMPS for now, to continue to block spurious analysis for
; "the boy is fishing."
; DPF 19-nov-04 - Removed identification of SUBJ..AGR with SUBJ..--SIND since
; want "three kilometers" measure-NP to be syntactically singular, even though
; semantic index comes from "kilometers" which is plural.
; DPF 05-nov-05 - Added CASE non_obliq to COMPS to block idiomatic detless NPs
; as in 'on top' from giving "*Kim is top."
; DPF 13-nov-05 - But sadly this also blocks "This is why we suffer". So
; instead try requiring non-empty SPEC, where detless NPs have SPEC < >.
; DPF 28-oct-06 - Removed PRONTYPE real_pron from COMPS, since we want to
; allow "The reason is the fishing." No longer getting as much spurious
; ambiguity, for example with "The boy is fishing." See if too much remains.
