BTW :), do you know that this "canonical" text is trimmed badly?
Here's the full text of that paragraph (I capitalized the "lorem
ipsum"), quoted after

    <http://patriot.net/~lillard/cp/cic.fin1.html#32>

    Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem

Yep.  Because you've got, effectively:

    @Title: &1s @OneRow { some text @PP next para ... }


That's the situation @Insert is for:

    @AbstractFormat { { @Title: &1s } @Insert @Body }

So to say, @Insert doesn't operate on objects, it operates at the
parse tree level, inserting it's left paramter as if it was,
textually, the start of its right parameter.  I.e.  the result will be

    { @Title: &1s some text @PP next para ... }

Hope this helps.
