"Microsoft Word has experienced random invisible bits of formatting stuck in the text somewhere"

In following the links to the paper on Femke, I found in that paper this expansion of the acronym Femke: "emphfunctional micro kernel experiment". I had to look at it a while before I realized that the markup had leaked into the result.

Then I though that "emphfunctional" might just be a very useful neologism, perhaps one that well describes the primary article's idealistic shell, but I'm not sure what it should mean yet.

These are the questions that plague the mind that is having trouble focusing on its work.
