Richard Hills:

I think it is dangerous to translate the Laws in
accordance with the translator's assumption about the
"intent" of the Laws.  Suppose the translator of Law
77 was the idiosyncratic German player Scorer #1?

Rather, I think translators should follow the "intent"
of the _law-makers_ (which Bob has done, by posting
questions to this forum which "incorporates" three of
the law-makers).

Will Herman De Wael be translating the Laws into
Flemish?  If so, how does Herman intend to translate
Law 20F5(a)?

:-)
