I don't really know whether this makes sense, but it seems that if you are dealing with keywords, such as in the HTML5 spec > > <meta name="keywords" content="british,type face,font,fonts,highway,highways"> > > it seems that you might want to exclude a bunch of keywords in order to home in on the key domain information. That might be easier to do in that way, rather than in mapping them all to a different word. The dominant use case of the domain information is currently choice of a machine translation engine that is tailored to the domain. That system will just ignore the keywords which are not helpful to choose an machine translation engine - so there is no need to drop the keywords before. Best, Felix
