Sorry for the delay in getting back to you: work sometimes interrupts
and, just to add a little excitement in my life, we had a major lighting
storm yesterday which blew out my home network!  :( But I can't
complain: a house down the street caught fire due to the same storm.
It's a lot cheaper and slightly less inconvenient to buy a new router
than rebuild a house...

In any case, everything seems to be working just fine now!

Yes, that's fine.  Thanks for the clarification!

I don't know if you've done anything about this but I think it is
probably not worth worrying about these edge cases.  It probably opens
up a can of worms and requiring a white space before the inline call is
fine with me.

Thanks again,
