Bryan-
I must take issue with your comment:
"Wel if one gets abstract enough just about everything is a language.
If a meta language has to possess all the normally defined qualities of
a 'language' whatever these are, then yes a 'meta-language' is a
language."
So, if I may substitute noun for noun, adjective for adjective, what you're
saying is equivalent to:
If a brown cat has to possess all the normally defined qualities of a 'cat'
whatever these are, then yes a 'brown cat' is a cat.
This of course is a tautology. A meta language IS a language. That's why
it's not called a meta frobitz!

Bill
