Hi Mark, Linda & RNLDers,

This topic has already been approached by the Australian Linguistics
Society and a conversation started with the ARC (it hasn't moved much in
the last little while, but that is not the ARC's fault!).

A group of us presented at ALS2012 on the topic (slides attached below),
and there is further information in this blogpost
<http://www.paradisec.org.au/blog/2012/11/counting-collections/> by Nick
Thieberger.

Those of us involved see this as a very important issue; unfortunately
pressure of other work has halted the momentum we had managed, but we do
intend to pursue the matter.

Best, Simon
