	Comments:	Was there a decision made on cases like this (i.e., a common noun--or expression--shares a name with a proper noun?) that were raised on the mailing list?

	Refs:	Koj, Daijr, GG5, etc.
	Comments:	(a) I don't think it really means "the end justifies the means". Neither the Koj nor Daijr glosses say that. (b) those 国語s translate it, but all the JEs just say it's the name of the Shakespeare comedy. I think we need to reflect both.
