If we're not working towards a unified vocabulary, what's the point of having a glossary at all? If all you can do is tell me how hard the problem is, you won't have any influence on the fix. I understand it's difficult; I'll take the best documentation solution I can get. It's your choice how much you want to try to pull in the directions you think are correct. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.
