   Ronnie Agreed, and I have corrected that. This is important since an n-category internal to Grp is equivalent to a single vertex crossed complex of length $n+1$.

   It is not so clear how to construct a homotopical functor from $n$-cubes of non pointed spaces, and what should be the receiving category. =–
