I also mean that not all character states can be grounded in reality. I agree
with Peter that they _should_ but there is a lot of legacy data out there and
we don;t have the collation rules that were used by the authors to come up
with
the generalities. So we need to support the word "ovate" as a leaf shape
descriptor <<leaf_shape>ovate<</leaf_shape> or we will not be able to support
legacy data. Even if we do not really know what they meant by "ovate."
Of course we have to be able to <underline>handle</underline> such data, it will simply be a case of caveat emptor. P.
