I agree with Iljitsch remark that we should focus on the solutions, 
rather than the terminology. At the same time, when there are 
ambiguities that makes us go into spin for a week, I think we do gain 
from having a clear set of terms. Which ones we need and don't need 
will very much depend on which solutions we are looking at. I didn't 
mean to cast the proposal in stone. It was meant as an example. But I 
do think that we need an authoritative list of terminology. But we 
could define that as we go along and needs arises.
