We ALSO need to have a special wiki page (that lists each of these things, and how they are rendered, and used. This will alleviate the problem. Since these 3 or 6 other values are common, it should be easy to make pages for each of them and put 'status=in use'. Having these values (this goes with many other 'values') listed as just a short description on a chart is not good enough. Each value needs to be properly defined, with rendering examples and pictures. Otherwise, we can continue talking about air, until the mars rovers stop working.
