Many thanks to Wendell Piez, Mike Sokolov, and Ken Holman for your very helpful suggestions and questions both -- I have spent much of the last day or so following the threads you started. I had 2 questions, I suppose, in the back of my mind: Is there an equivalent to NLM/JATS for lexicography? But also: is there a way to think about the many kinds of structured (implicit and explicit) information "packaged" in a dictionary -- especially electronic ones -- that would lend themselves to "unpacking" and exposing them in semantically useful ways - Your leads were very helpfully in thinking about both -- Thanks so much, Sheila M.
