Agreed.

So do I.

I thik either 'iz' or 'del' is OK -- my preference is for 'iz.'

I've never shared the concern about the 'sukero' problem. It seems
to me that spending much time and rebuilding everything to eliminate rare
difficulties is too wasteful. After all, 'sukero' probably never would
appear outside a context that would make its meaning clear. Still, it is
fun to play with wills-o'-the-wisp!
