No.  Because they are not required.  What HTK wants to know while using 
a regression class tree is a set of Gaussians associated to each leaf 
node of regression tree.  This regression class tree is used in 
bottom-up fashion rather than top-down, questions are not required.

The first one appeared while converting decision tree to regression 
tree.  Please refer to HHEd.c:PrintNodeBaseClass() for details.

Yes and no.  If your full_all.list includes all full context models in 
full.list, (I think) you can swap them.  Otherwise, not.
