Hi Brian

Thanks for this.

Great - I swapped these around in all the files with a sed one-liner.

No problem at all!  I've added the bars.

I've gone through all the files and cleared all the errors, except for some 
bullet errors, which the others will look at, and two remaining ones:

*ELI:	[- spa] <no sé> . 
*** File "patagonia37.cha": line 1745, column 23: parser: no viable 
alternative at input '.'

Is this because of the preceding angle bracket?

%eng:	he had paid £400 for the papers.
*** File "patagonia26.cha": line 431, column 19: lexer: skipping nonviable 
character '£' (Unicode \u00a3) in state 78

In depfile.cut I have 
%eng:	* [*] "* +... +/. +!? +//. +/? +"/. +". +" +^ +< +, ++ +//? +..? #
and that allows it to clear CHECK, but what do I do to get it to clear 
Chatter.

I'm assuming that CHECK may clear something that Chatter doesn't.because XML 
is notoriously finicky about stuff, and Chatter needs to do different validation.
