An offlist message I received made me think I'd perhaps not made my
point clear earlier.
I was saying that *in general* (not the specific META case) you may
be able to rule out where a PP is attached based on the semantics of
the PP but that that has nothing to do with syntax or with any
characteristic of the case alone.
When I said that the hypothesis "may have merit" I meant there is
nothing inherently wrong with a rule of the form "Preposition X with
case Y is always adjectival". My point was that the hypothesis would
have to be considered in the specific case of META and not just based
on the choice of case.
Hope this clarifies what I was trying to say.
James
