Someone pointed out to me what seemed to be an inconsistency between
Epstein's reply and mine ("no" to both (i) and (iii) versus "yes" to
both (i) and (iii)).  There is no contradiction, though.  Epstein uses
a specific notion of *conservative translation* in his book (chapter
X, if I remember it right) that has the extra property of being
*grammatical* in a certain precise sense.
