OK

As 縹緻 is not a variant of 器量, I don't think we can make it sK unless we include an "also written as 縹緻" note on sense 1. I'm not sure if that's a better approach (considering the form's rarity).

I'm inclined to change that rK to sK and remove the 器量 restrictions from the later senses. After all the kokugos only say ...とも書く... and are not stating that 縹緻 really is a valid surface form.

A Chinese poet

See below.

Thanks for that response. I agree entirely with the concept, but many of the sample sentences are far too long and complex; and the novice [and many who are not quite novices] has to cope with grasping a whole translation which requires carefully matching with the Japanese wording. Perhaps, the sentences which are used for the intended purpose of helping to explain the [so called] obvious could be very brief, namely: in this particular case, something no more than "かれはことを気づく [He discovers a thing]". Rather, than the more usual which may be: "His dear friend discovered that his that his wife was sobbing in the kitchen, and he was very concerned about that.". Perhaps a little overstated by me, but I guess that you know what I mean. I am, of course, not suggesting that the more detailed sentences should be excluded, but I am suggesting that there should always be a very simple sentence with the absolute minimum which is needed in order to explain the main point of the related entry in the dictionary.

Comments noted and appreciated.
I think the best way to address these issues is via good examples. Putting them into the Tatoeba collection and linking them is probably most appropriate.

See below.

Whilst I agree with the concept of not turning a dictionary into predominantly a grammar book, when it comes to Japanese it seems to me that it is not quite the same as other languages which are based upon a simple word by word structure with idiomatic meanings distorting the plain A + B concept. Of course, one must not go to extremes, but a fair smattering of the obvious would not be a bad thing for the novice searcher. However, I can see that it would be anathema to the scholar to see a dictionary riddled with too much of the obvious. It is always a balance which has to be struck.

However, one does have the great advantage of an electronic dictionary in so far that one is not limited by printed pages and book size. Because of that, I feel that one should take full advantage of that fact and be flexible in the criteria. If one simply keeps to plain criteria for the concept of dictionary, once one has dealt with the ordinary words and idiom, one is simply left with expanding with the uncommon and the obscure; where probably 95% of it is of little interest to the average searcher.

However, in this dictionary, I come across so many ordinary expressions which are already included that I was encouraged to submit the above. As for me, I would be just as happy for your other two examples of eating and drinking to be included as well. The searcher would then get a good "taste" of the difference between idiom and ordinary A + B. That “taste” would allow the searcher to make better judgement about the mass of things, which as you say cannot reasonably be included; not as a result of space restriction, but because of the use of the valuable time of the dedicated team of workers.

Anyway, as always, many thanks for your valuable comments on my submissions. That is one aspect which makes this site so helpful; because one can feel the human input.

All of the phrases you've cited (except for 〜を成し遂げる, which I've just recommended be deleted) are idiomatic.  ことを気づく is just the sum of its parts; it's really no more than the meaning of 気づく alone.  If this were to be added, just about any ことを+verb combo would fit the bill, as would things like ものを食べる, ものを飲む, etc.  This shouldn't be an entry.

Correct.

I suspect the reading element had an extraneous う in おうん.

No, they shouldn't. Alternative kanji forms can only be included if they share the same reading and meaning. Here the different kanji forms have unique readings, so they need to be done as separate entries, possibly cross-referenced.

Most kanwas don't have kun readings for 賓. Unihan has まろうど and したがう, and Shibano's JIS kanwa does too, so I'll add them. 
Just because a word is occasionaly written with a kanji doesn't mean that the word is an accepted kun reading for that kanji.
Thanks.

Kanjidic: 賓 only has ヒン as its reading, but まれびと and まろうど should be added too I think.

daijs, nikk, koj

nikk also has the reading 「まれひと」.

Koj too.

Originally put in by Marcus. I was clearing up forks, and went too far, so here it is re-entered.
