I have two comments on this thread... I...
The examples provided (I & II) do not necessarily show a correct pattern of either. In the first example, the assumption can be made that the description is unique and thus requires a unique example. The second is merely a reverse of the first, as a unique example requires a unique description. Where the second pattern example fails is when you can have multiple examples of the same concept, thus requiring basically a single description. For example here are two examples of adding to an integer variable in C#... CIntVar = CIntVar + 1 CIntVar++ Both examples would only need a single description, which describes that there are several ways to increment an integer variable in C#; the first using plus(+) operator, the second using the plus-plus(++) operator. II... My understanding of the Firebird Butler project could be two-fold... A specification for best practices for developing distributed systems using the Firebird Database Engine A set of enterprise tools to implement such systems (ie: an equivalent to Windows Communication Foundtaion: hence the attribution to ZeroMQ Just my thoughts...
