All this talk of double negatives made me haul out a few style books.
Basically, they all agree, along these lines:
The correlative conjunctions _neither_ and _nor_ may appear together in a
clause WITHOUT creating a double negative, so long as the writer does not
attempt to use the word _not_ in the same clause.
