While this tells against referential analysis of indefinites, it opens a can of worms for the other approaches as well; for example, if indefinite descriptions are ordinary quantified expressions, then why do they have such extraordinary island-escaping properties (or at least appear to)?
If indefinite "preventative detention" was wrong under Bush, then it's wrong under Obama.
Last summer, the United States Supreme Court, in Zadvydas v. Davis, said it was a violation of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment to keep immigrants who had been ordered deported in indefinite detention, if no country would accept them.

If an indefinite strike goes ahead, I'll support doctors the whole way through.
In each case, the proposition expressed is argued to be that which would be expressed if the indefinite determiner were replaced by the existential quantifier.
If the indefinite α-CF integral of h order α is denoted by H_{alpha}(t)= int h(t)Delta^{alpha}t, then the Cauchy α-CF integral of h is defined by [17] int _{a}^{b}h(t)Delta^{alpha}t=H_{alpha}(b -H_{alpha}(a), for all (a,b -H_{alpha}).
"People in receipt of those letters need to have a reasonable, if not an indefinite, amount of time to reply".
And this, they wager, could take months, if not years.An indefinite postponement is less worrying to Ehud Barak than it would have been in his first months as Israel's prime minister, when peace with Syria was his foreign-policy priority.
A linear manifold or a subspace ℒ in K is called indefinite if it contains both positive and negative elements.
If the matrix (Gin mathcal{R}^{ntimes n}) is symmetric, we use the symbol (|x|_{G}^{2}) to denote (x^{top}Gx) even if G is indefinite; (Gsucc0) (resp., (Gsucceq0)) denotes that the matrix G is positive definite (resp., semi-definite).
