Finally getting back to this!  See below ...

My problem with "inWord" is that, without further explanation, I'm not 
sure whether it only applies to cases like:

UTF-8 is a char-
acter encoding for Unicode.

or also to:

This is not a run-
on sentence.

That is, I'm not sure whether we're talking about orthographic or 
lexical words.

If some explanation can be added to P5 on this point, I'll probably be 
much happier with it.

Without further explanation, I find these opaque too.  You see, "inWord" 
sounds like something internal to a word, and if that's true, how is 
"internal" different?

Point taken.

By "compound", I meant a compound word, such as "policeman", 
"must-have", "ice cream", or "street walker".

Aside from this, my recollection of Dublin has faded significantly, and 
I don't have any strong feelings on this except to give people clear 
instructions they can follow that tells them what to do.  I think that's 
what Martin Mueller is looking for as well.
