Some locally finite simple Lie algebras are graded by finite (possibly
nonreduced) root systems. Many more algebras are sufficiently close to
being root graded that they still can be handled by the techniques from that
area. In this paper we single out such Lie algebras, describe them, and
suggest some applications of such descriptions.
