I didn't say that the grey zone is a relic of the past but, quite differently, a fact we need to acknowledge and relate to. The main reason: terminologies are not just merely dictionaries but make assumptions of semantics that interact with assumptions of semantics made in archetypes. Also, in terminological languages, representations of the semantics may be processed formally. /Daniel
