A language over an alphabet $B = A cup overline{A}$ of opening ($A$) and closing ($overline{A}$) brackets, is balanced if it is a subset of the Dyck language $D_B$ over $B$, and it is well-formed if all words are prefixes of words in $D_B$. We show that well-formedness of a context-free language is decidable in polynomial time, and that the longest common reduced suffix can be computed in polynomial time. With this at a hand we decide for the class 2-TWs of non-linear tree transducers with output alphabet $B^*$ whether or not the output language is balanced.
