Ok, that's easy enough I think. Have sortKey not return VECTOR_EXPR as  
the root; you don't want it. THen, if we are ignoring the other rules  
for now, this is what you want:

> sortSpecification : sortKey  -> ^( SORT_SPEC sortKey  )+  ;

The + on the outside duplicates the root, one for each child pulled  
from sortKey...ack, wait.  Will it see the tree coming back from  
sortKey as a "list" or a single element...hmm...try that first and see  
what happens.

Then, if that works, we can think about the rule references I deleted.
