Mirriam-Webster says that "milestone" means "a significant point in development", and this could apply. However, for me there's also an implication of linearity (perhaps because milestones used to appear every mile). And the document as written does not suggest a linear relationship among the steps. I have no strong feelings against "milestones". _ Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
