Comment (by nthiery):

 Replying to [comment:17 chapoton]:
 > The other definition of "order filter" is not quite that: it says "an
 upper set such that any two elements have a common lowest bound in the
 upper set"

 Oops, you are right; I formulated this to fast.

 > It seems to imply (for finite posets) that it has a unique minimal
 element, and that this other definition could be called a "principal upper
 ideal" or "principal upper set".

 Indeed.

 > There are subtle issues for infinite posets, but should we be concerned
 about that ?

 Not right now. But that will come! So it would be good to know that there
 exist a plan, even if we don't know right away which plan it should be.
