As I said, I based my decision on GCIDE: From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]: online \on"line`\, on-line \on"-line`\adj. 1. 1 (Computers) connected by a communications line to a computer. Opposite of {off-line}. Syn: online, on line(predicate). [WordNet 1.5] 2. [prenominal] being in progress now; ongoing; as, on-line editorial projects. [Colloq.] Syn: in progress(predicate), ongoing, on line(predicate). [WordNet 1.5] But I'm not wedded to it. If everybody else hates it, that editorial change can be reverted. -- G.
