Unnnnnnfortunately, the term "1:1" is itself ambiguous.  Some people take it
to mean that there is only one element of the range for one element of the
domain, *and vice versa*, as you and I do.  But others use "1:1" to mean
that this is true only in a single direction, and use the phrase "one-one
and onto" to signify bi-uniqueness.

So Michael may or may not mean what you think he means.
