I think it would be reasonable, and perhaps preferable, to use just "median" for the semantics described in most dictionaries -- for example, this: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/median If you do a google search for "median" and poke around, you'll find many places where this is the only definition mentioned; the others seem to be rather infrequently used. Why not make the commone usage convenient? -Kevin
