I think I've mentioned before that I see some problem with the
Herbal-A/Herbal-B division in that there are pages where, when while one
transcribes, one 'senses' a transition within the page itself to another
"language".  I haven't quanitified this through paragraph analyasis as yet,
but it's pretty obvious when you're typing that your fingers start hitting a
different set of keys.  When you look up to read the text, the beginnings
and endings of the words have "transitioned" into another set, and this on a
single page.  I think the Herbal-A/Herbal-B problem is not so clearly
defined as we think.
