Algebraically independent?

It says "lthough π itself is transcendental, it is an open problem whether many other transcendental numbers are algebraically independent from π. " in "Relation to other constants". If this means that it's not known whether there exist many transcendental numbers which are algebraically independent from π, then it sounds wrong to me. Maybe it means that for many other known transcendental numbers, it is an open problem whether those numbers are algebraically independent from π. If so, it should be reworded to clarify. --Catherine Woodgold 17:32, 2 May 2007 (CDT)

It can't be the first, by a simple countability argument. Greg Woodhouse 17:35, 2 May 2007 (CDT)
