[Framers] Are there limits on Conditional Expressions? If so, what are they?

[Robert Lauriston]

The shorter expression returns everything that is NOT tagged with
anything in the ( "DocIss" or ... "WriterNote") set, PLUS everything
that matches ("LITEvA" and (("LP" or ... or "SAS4vC") and not ("TBP"
or "Internal"))).

You might try running the first one through a utility that simplifies
logical expressions.
