Re: [ACTION-304] Provide a note on this use of disambiguation

Hi Dave and all,

Thanks, and a rewrite suggestion:

"Note: The use case for disambiguation is distinct from that for the 
Terminology data category. Disambiguation may directly inform human and 
automated translation activities in settings where either explicit 
terminology information is not (yet) available or would be not 
appropriate (general language case). The two data categories may also be 
complementary, e.g. when automatically generated disambiguation 
annotation provides input to a manual or automated term mining process 
that results in Terminology annotations."

Cheers -- Jörg
