Hi Wolfgang,

to get the unfolding publication out for summer is possible if we can 
hold the timeline also for the BF result but it is not guaranteed that 
we will exactly meet the conference timeline for a publication for the 
unfolding.
As a consequence, I would vote for a combined abstract which allows us
to add also the unfolding result if ready for the summer conferences.

If the vague formulation proposed by Kerstin is sufficient is a good 
question. Maybe we could write the following:

Distributions of various kinematic variables characterising 
B -> X_u l nu decays are studied. Partial branching fractions 
DeltaB(B -> X_u l nu) are measured in kinematic regions where 
the dominant background from semileptonic B decays to charm is 
reduced.
