Wes,
I'm not sure whether you understood my point and disagree, or whether I
failed to make myself clear, so excuse me if this is repetitive, but...
I think both are qualitative. One is definite, the other is indefinite. I
*hope* that definiteness and qualitativeness are orthogonal. At any rate,
this is all based on a very scientific feeling in the pit of my stomach ;->
