 noetd, you can always wrap CQP: part of the advantage of a nice simple model at the engine level is that remains easy to embed it in something more particularised. If you
<i>really</i> insist on having this behaviour at the CQP level, you do have the option of patching the code for your own use…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 it.&nbsp; I don't see this&nbsp;as semantic interpretation, but just preserving the integrity of the original text.&nbsp; An XML-like tag is arguably the worst choice, but I am inclined to go with whatever already works.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
