There's a line after which terminology just becomes pedantic. And if
you cross it once more, you get into the realm of obfuscation.
Congratulations, I suppose! You managed to have reached that edge.

Seriously, you started this thread well. I even nodded to my screen
when many posts back you mentioned correct terminology was an
important aspect of any official spec.

But you just couldn't stop, could you? What you aren't realizing is
that your quest for the perfect set of terms is exactly what is
leading you into a confusing state, producing the opposite effect of
making things harder to understand, instead of easier.

Continue this thread if you must, but please never write a spec in
your life.
