[Lexicog] unlex-entries

[Mike Maxwell]

Readers of this mailing list may be interested in a discussion going on
at Mark Liberman's blog:\

   http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002171.html

At issue is sentences like
   They had only just moved in; their boxes lay on the
   kitchen floor, still unpacked.
where 'unpacked' is apparently used to mean 'packed'.  The question is
whether this is a mistake, or a legitimate (whatever that means) usage.
  To put it in terms more relevant to this list, would you put this
sense in your dictionary?  Or is it ungood?
