Regarding "generic coordinate variable" versus "coordinate variable" — I would prefer to avoid the word generic. The problem is that we have been using "coordinate variable" in a specific sense, so it would be confusing to start using it in a general sense at this point. As a result we need some qualifier to indicate that both what it being said applies to both kinds of coordinate variables.
We could make a point to use phrases such as "a coordinate variable of either type", which would avoid the use of the word generic. It also makes the language more precise. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
