I think it would be great do something like this. Multivalue Query [mvQuery] Multivalue Basic [mvBasic] Multivalue PROC [mvPROC]
I also think it would be great if someone could write a piece of a book that is very generic (keep it at a 20,000 foot view) which covers each major topic area. Once complete, a group of experts-at-large in the various flavors add platform specific details. When complete, one or more of the know-it-alls [like some of the gurus on this list] combine the common parts, while leaving the unique areas in place. Basically, a wiki to book transformation. Many of the books sold today have two, three, and even more authors (especially the technically oriented books). Something like this could reduce the work required (just doing a piece of the whole) and increase the potential market (supports most platforms) for sales. I see a lot of talent on this list that can pull something like this off, it just needs a great leader (and I see many of them here too).

I put it in the style and usage guide for just the reasons being brought up here. I don't see any reason not to add other MultiValue generic terms. MultiValue Query comes to mind. I'm open to suggestions about that and other terms. Post them here, or if you'd rather not, just send them to me at [email protected] (or my regular e-mail address).
