Blind alley??? You had a place structure that agreed with the one
proposed by lojbab, which John also approved, what blind alley?

Your definition doesn't seem to give that much emphasis to text. In any
case, I think the structure is right. The details of what type of works
are encompassed by x2 are secondary. I agree with John that this (with
your wording or lojbab's) is the Right Thing.
