DN - full agree.  Semantics are present everywhere and abstract.  As 
soon as something happens, human beings put a meaning to it.  One aspect 
to consider is that someone could require a token (UDEF??) to be 
included in a description that referenced a semantic entity.

N - also agree. I like the stack better.

I would suggest that we stay with the stack until Gregory submits an 
alternative that we can discuss.
