ah.  well i just added this new page that "defines" RevItem.

Prior to 2005-06-15 BillJ believed that there were basically reversed and 
unreversed items.  But now (2005-06-15) he thinks of things differently.
Reversal is like replacing "Happy" with "Sad" in his disssertation.  Items
created with this distinction are mostly NEGATED items.

And reversal and negation fit into a larger framework of experimental 
manipulation or ablation.

Given other deadlines (e.g. talk) it is too much trouble at this point 
(2005-06-15) to change all of the RevItems to NegItem or some such.
