"Expected" != "the way it's always been" Rather, "expected" refers to the expected behaviour given the generally accepted meanings of the verbs selected. In this case, that means they need to be synonymous to the way they've been used before. Otherwise, they should not be "start/stop." Rainer -- Mind the gap.
