On Wed, 10 Aug 2005 12:30:15 GMT In QA Framework: Specification Guidelines At http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#reuse-terms-gp Good Practice 10: Use terms already defined without changing their definition. What does it mean? When a definition for a term already exists (e.g. in a different specification) and matches the specification needs, reuse the term and its definition without changing it, and provide a reference to the source. Why care? Reusing existing terms reduces the cost of creating new definitions and makes it easier for readers already familiar with other specifications to get into the new one. In addition, conflicting definitions for the same term lead to reduced interoperability. -- Karl Dubost Montréal, QC, Canada http://twitter.com/karlpro
