A bit of both. My point is: The jargon that is developed in specific
domains (such as TODO, and the P-convention among Lispers, and so on)
often ends up used outside it. Once people not associated with the
original domain are using that jargon, it can be safely declared to be
part of the language.

TODO mightn't be there quite yet, but I agree, it's highly likely to
be dictionarified (is THAT a word?) before long.
