thanks for the feedback on the ERG web demo, ann.

i will leave these for dan to decide.  right now, i dropped the `just'
from the default example, but maybe we can find an even better sample
sentence?

regarding degrees of robustness in the web demo, i would like to have a
toggle, where `robust' mode could then comprise fragment roots plus PoS
tagging and generic lexical entries; `precise' mode, on the other hand,
could be for in-depth linguistic inspection.  i still hope to implement
this before the summit this year.

that was a nice little bug: MRSs on generator results were not external
(compliant with the SEM-I, i.e. post-VPM); now corrected.

in this latest face-lift i also addressed a few issues dan had reported
earlier, viz. (a) the choide of tree comparison mode is back; (b) it is
possible to generate from results even if only tree display was active;
(c) tree nodes are now mouse sensitive.  finally, i added LaTeX output
for trees and MRSs, but i still need to find a good way of distributing
the corresponding style files.
