 % Yes. I was expecting the 'German' move. But should all combined terms 
 % in a piece of German text become Wiki words automatically?    (05)

 for me... yes.    (06)

  the hard part about wiki's is that they mostly fail to maintain
  scope and context properly.    (07)

  but if you can maintain that scope/context, then yes, things that
  are concepts should be wiki words.    (08)
