Isn't a lot of wind going into the fairly obvious fact that a dedication is
a public statement concerning the dedicatee, done, these days, with more
or less degree of desperation to assure the self of some reciprosity
somewhere? And surely it makes an enormous difference whether To or For
is used? I've never understood the latter, which seems to violate the
public/private decorum of text, as Robin (or was it Chris) said.
Even to think of promoting inexplicability or incomprehension (read:
incomprehensibility) these days seems very odd. It would be like promoting
the Queen, or Posh.
