I just finished implementing the porter stemmer in PHP, then discovered
porter2.  So, I'm upgrading.  :-) =20

On step 2, though, you have added ' bli --> ble ' as well as 'li
preceded by 'b' --> remove li '=20

so, for words ending in 'bli' which is more correct? removing the li or
change the i to e?

I know you say to take the longest first, but is that the intended
action on 'bli' vs. 'li' preceded by a b?

thanks,
