	Comments:	I really don't think the glosses for sense 3 should be in the negative. Sense 3 and 4 are definitely different. See kokugos examples.

	Comments:	Sense 3 is tricky. I'm ambigious towards having notes like "used in the negative" while glossing the sense as if the entry is in fact for the negated form. Isn't it a little confusing? The entry is 問う, not 問わない/問わず so I'd kind of expect the gloss to be "with regard to". Also, is sense 3 all that different from sense 4? Would it make sense to remove sense 3 and add something to the sense 3 note? "; also negated as 問わず to mean "without regard to""

	Comments:	The former senses 3 and 4 are one and the same, it seems to me. While the new sense 4 is close to sense 1, I thought it has a negative connotation whereas the latter is neutral. Plus, according to djr/djs, it's usually is used in passive form when used in sense 4.
