Properly represent the relationship of coordinate groups of clauses & the conjunctions that connect them.
One immediate issue is how coordinate conjunctions are misleadingly represented. To facilitate automatic tracking of broken trees, coordinate conjunctions were connected to the clauses immediately following them (even though they are properly inter-clause), so that coordinate conjunctions did not show false positives when searching for any broken trees. It would be better if this can now be changed.
The larger issue is that the GBI trees are quite limited in its representation of structures above clause level. Because the GBI trees were built from the ground up & always went through machine parsing, there was a limit to the length of clauses put together before parsing became a problem. The GBI trees are thus not ideal for dealing with larger structures in the Greek text above clause complexes (the highest level where the treatment is satisfactory: main clauses with any subordinate clauses connected to them).
