Scott,

the problem with accepting ANY noun, is that you lose any control.

take your example for instance:

"BOOTS, #519, SIZE 12D "

turn it around to read:

SIZE 12D BOOTS, #519

size is a noun too.

I liked Joel's suggestion to build a kind of wizard to build your
description.  unless the description is too free form to allow that.
