I agree.   it is critical that good terminology be adopted and then held constant so that people can learn to use it.

historically IT had a bad habit of constantly trying new words in their attempt to communicate with the un-initiated. that made matters worse: people will get hip in their own due time .

I'd very much like for this discussion to continue, but I also want some
finality to the discussion, too, so that Patrick can have a fixed target
to implement (instead of trying to make it match an ever-changing
discussion).  It's really easy for good discussions to turn into
bikeshedding arguments: at some time the points have all been made and a
decision needs to be reached.

So.  Assuming for the moment the power of moderating this discussion --
I think we should aim for, shall we say, October 1 to close this?  On
October 1 I write up a sense-of-the-list, give it to Nico and Patrick,
and then we call it done until/unless someone can come up with new and
compelling arguments?
