  We demonstrate that a theory of the edge of a half-filled Landau level
recently proposed by Lee and Wen predicts results for the edge occupation
number similar to those of a variational trial wave function proposed
previously by us. We treat Lee and Wen's edge action of a half-filled Landau
level within the framework of bosonization theory, and show that the momentum
occupation numbers are determined by a product of two Green's functions, one
charged and one neutral. In the bulk region ($k<0$) we find a linear occupation
profile, $n_k \propto A+Bk$, while in the tail region ($k>0$) it is
exponentially decaying over the range $k\sim\Ln$, the momentum cutoff for
neutral mode. We find a good fit with the numerical results for occupation
numbers.
