R help - May 2003 - lme() vs aov(y ~ A*B + Error(aa %in% A + bb %in% B)) -- questions

Here is a reproducible (when you're on-net) script for a
relatively simple real data (consulting) situation here.

The data analyst tried to use lme() rather than  aov( + Error()) 
and asked several questions that I couldn't easily answer and
thought to be interesting for a more general audience in any
case.

I attach the script as text/plain file that you should run
"everywhere".  The three questions are summarized at the
beginning of the file.
