Re: [edict-jmdict] JLPT Vocabulary

["Dennis Schrader" <jpnthailand@*********>]

As an after-thought, your suggestion to add jlpt1", "jlpt2", etc. tag to
JMdict is excellent. However do you not feel that we're getting a bit
"marker heavy"? Is color-coding possible in this case?

Also, the suggestion that "vs", etc. have a "mouse-over and receive an
explanation" (sorry for the poor wording) is a really nice touch, though
fairly common nowadays. So many people new to Edict might drown in all the
appendings and qualifiers without it. Just a thought.
