Howard,

I know you rest your case.

Your script counts as expected by the current rules!!

But if you use a KiX statement with 'many' reserved words like:

For Each $x In $y
Or
For $i = 1 To 10 Step 2

The score wil be unfair if you don't count in the nessasery whitespaces.

Summarizing:
Your script is flawles
BUT
I uppose to the current rules.
