Of course there are uncomplimented subspaces of Banach spaces but the sequence space little-Lp is "projective" for the category of p-Banach spaces. Thus, if X is a p-Banach space with closed subspace N and T is an operator from little-Lp to X/N there is a lifting S(not necessarily unique) from little-Lp to X.

Moreover, since X/N is p-normable there is an index set I such that there is a surjection from little-Lp(I) to X/N. Thus, this surjection has a lifting to X. Does this imply N is complimented or is the uniqueness of the lifting required?
