"When we are so unsure of the place structures that alone of all
features of the language we do not intend to baseline them - if for no
other reason simply because of the impossibility of a comprehensive
and consistent place structure analysis to be completed before we
put out a dictionary."

This good intention was frustrated and reversed at some point?
The idea was of course that the putting out of a dictionary was
imminent. Almost sixteen years later and with the dictionary still not
out, I think it would not be a bad idea to do some analysis and revision
of place structures for consistency, even if it turns out not to be fully
and absolutely comprehensive.
