Great, thanks! :-)

FWIW, I'm considering writing some JavaScript to let people design 
state-machine-like models and test them against a filtered section of the 
VMs (ie, a page, a folio, Language A, etc).

Statistically, it may well be that different models' fitnesses could be 
assessed using a measure such as BIC (Bayesian Information Criterion). That 
should give us the ability to make evaluations like "the OKOKO model is the 
best current model we have for <section X>".

However, I'll be reviewing all the Hidden Markov Models first: it may be 
that running HMM-finding algorithms on carefully pre-pairified text gives 
different results to what we've seen before...

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
