I intended the formal grammar to reflect the wording, but evidently
didn't succeed entirely.

I don't presume to have the definitive answer to these questions at this

point out that this question arose with the editors in 2006:

You might want to follow it through the September discussion of posts
headed "a typo and some lexical issues" (note that Will Clinger's posts
are usually not properly threaded---you'll probably need to search for
the subject line):

Specifically, this post might be of interest:
