the second paragraph is intended to be far more general than LISP and
carefully avoids using any LISP terms. I think it is accurate,
although the pronoun "you" is unbound. For LISP, it's an edge network
(in your vocabulary),a site in others' vocabulary, etc. For HIPP, you
is bound to a something. Some people would probably say stack,
although that's misleading as HIP explicitly supports stacks with
multiple HITs. For shim6, you is bound to something close to stack,
although it's a bit more complicated than that.
The second paragraph has not undergone a lot of editing other than to
remove LISP-specific terms from the general description. However, it
also has not drawn a lot of fire. If you do try to build consensus
behind a change, I strongly recommend against introducing new terms or
acronym expansions.
