Hallo Ben ,

thanks for your reply. Actually, I was thinking of *MRS*, not RMRS-XML 
output. I remember we had a brief discussion about this....
Currently, if I remove CFROM/CTO from the ignored-sem-features, I do get 
to see the features, only they never have any interesting value... This 
is the same in Pet and in LKB.
