[Attempto] Intersections of Lexical Classes in ACE LS 6.7

[Tobias Kuhn]

Dear Jörg,

It's b: These intersections are not allowed irrespective of the logical 
lemmas/symbols. These intersections could lead to an ambigous syntax 
tree, and therefore to more than one logical formula for the given 
sentence, which by design is not allowed in ACE.

Regards,
Tobias
