I am not sure if we will be able to set down X # of rules and then treat the texts like an algebra problem, [well we could - I am just not sure it would be so great].
But on the other side of the coin very clear working guidelines will most certainly help things move along in a large majority of cases.

few points were listed in the now damaged introduction thread , so how about we start from scratch?
