We are back to a glossary of terms such as in openDHT.org Naming the terms in those papers "platonic" is not helpful.

(Where applicable - exceptions should be > explained). I'm not Bruce, but I don't think this moves the ball forward very far. To quote Bruce's message: I had actually spent some time a few weeks ago looking at this, and as far as I can tell, there isn't a universal terminology here. I know that when I have introduced new terms for RELOAD, I've tried to use consistent terms if there were any that seemed appropriate and I suspect Bruce has done the same--including complaining about some of mine that weren't as standard asyou might have liked. ISTM that if there are people who believe that a given term in the draft doesn't match common academic usage (or perhaps some Platonic terminology ideal) then it's incumbent on them to explain which terms are wrong, what they need to be changed to, and why. -Ekr _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
