 Content filtering uses a adhoc filtering language, using prefix notation. The language looks somewhat similar to lisp. A statement in the language takes the form (op arg arg ....). A statement resolves to a boolean value. Statements can be nested. 
 
 ### 4.1 - Filter arguments
-An argument can be a number, a string or a symbol. A number is any argument which starts with -, + or 0 to 9. If the number starts with 0x it is interpretted as hexidecimal. Otherwise it is interpretted as decimal. If the argument begins with a double-quote, (") it is interpretted as a string. Anything else is interpretted as a symbol.
