Hi Norbert,

You helped fix some things that were wrong with my attempts in using ACE.

But actually, there is one big issue at the heart of this statement that was untouched in your reply. Basically its about time.

	"Event Y1 happened, without event Y2 happening"

Thats what I mean "its about time".

Event Y1 is "someone fell so-far". Event Y2 is "someone realising event Y1". (Yes, one event references another event).

What kind of "temporal expressions" does attempto currently have?

I remember reading something in one of your texts that your team is working on something like this?
