    I think that there is no way that the interlingua can be representationally
    neutral.  It is certainly telling you that FOL is the way to represent many
    things.

If it can't be completely neutral, then a question to ask is -
how neutral should it be? For example, it would surely not
be ok if one *had* to buy into all the paradigms encouraged
by say classic or cycl. On the other hand, if it says that
FOL is the way to represent many things, that might be ok.
