This is interesting. One has to think, though, that this agglomeration should 
keep Zipf's law more or less unchanged. I am not sure whether agglomeration 
would do this, because one is creating a new word each time (there should be 
too many new words, but there aren't). We shouldn't forget about the labels. 
They are likely to be more accurate (at least as far as the word start and 
end) than other pieces of text.
Cheers,

Gabriel
