Re: a minimal core intent proposal

Let's consider absolute value.

Is it this document, or somewhere else, that tells me to use
the string "absolute-value" when I am specifying that?

|X| can also mean determinant, cardinality, order, or length.
Maybe not all of those are K-12 or K-14, but I think those should
all be in core because they are reasonably common.  I am suggesting
that as a general principle.

Similarly, the draft mentions (a,b) as an open interval, but it
could also be an ordered pair or a point in the Cartesian plane.

Not sure if you are asking for specific instances, but one of my
go-to examples is the LaTeX \times, which in K-14 can be
multiplication
cross product
"by" as in 3-by-3 matrix or 10-by-12 foot room.

A bit past K-14 it can be direct product or cartesian product,
so by the principle I suggest above, those intents should also
be in core.

In biology, × is used to indicate a hybrid of two species, but
maybe we don't care about that.
