<chuckle> Sure! And that's what I was trying to convey within the
bounds of an attempted translation. In other words, I didn't want to
go too far, but I did want to capture the probably intended markedness
within the bounds of this third way of understanding the text.
Note the capital `T' which is meant to convey that `Today' is the name
of something. With the interpretation you've suggested, `Today' is the
"great 'Today'".
In any case, it was probably best you clarified. I certainly did not want
to put words in your mouth (or pixels from your keyboard).
