Yes and no, I don't want to complicate the recognition algorithm just  
to specify every possible combination -- it's important to find a  
simple mapping, otherwise we lose the abstraction and are back to  
square one.

If though you can find me a usecase why we should differenciate  
between 'held' and 'standing', then I'm all ears ;)

Cheers,
