This is a valuable topic, thank you for bringing it up. IMHO the IETF should promte clear communication. The use of a term that's likely be *perceived* as weighted by some readers -- even if the author didn't intend it that way, and even if person who coined the term in the first place didn't intend it that way -- can still hinder communication with those readers. If it's easy to find an equivalent term without the baggage, then it seems like common sense to use that term instead. -- Evan Hunt -- each@xxxxxxx Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.
