[developers] `fragmented' scoping MRSs

[Emily M. Bender]

Thanks, Ann.  I did notice that the scoping code requires the
RSTR value of a quantifier to be related to something (not
currently the case always in the Wambaya grammar...).  Is
this a deep requirement?  That is, is it bad to have an empty
RSTR value?
