[DCRM-L] Folded leaf in a statement of extent

[Laurence S. Creider]

I'm out of town without access to tools, but my temptation is to say that
there is no "correct" way to express this situation.  Analogies from Asian
books are just analogies.  All you can do is try to be clear and succinct
in your description, and that is hard enough.

Good luck,
Larry
