Oh, it's very useful to have consistent terminology. And if a document needs to use new terms, they should definitely be defined before use.

I'm reminded of recent work in NEA, but they're not the only ones. > I agree. Which is why a Terms and Definitions section is darn useful as is > an overall Term Bank.
