Thanks, Doug.  My source was pretty funny and deliberately over-emphatic at 
the same time.  I quite consciously extrapolate from the possibilities he 
extracts from parentheses & brackets [wouldn't be surprised if Acconci 
invokes phenomenological bracketing as well].  Despite the less thn ideal 
preservation of my text from its original publication in "Cento", I will 
link to my other "work" which derives from Acconci's practice in his first 
book "Double Bubble":
