Funny that they would say in the appendix

 Perhaps there is some mind-bending way that domains
 could be constructed as a resul to userinput, but I cannot think of
 one off the top of myhead.

since I guess that this is exactly what we were doing in our version of
combinat -- i.e., the parser I wrote, that takes a string and returns a
combinatorial class.
