[Priority3] The QA glossary is not a dictionary or an authoritative source on how to use terms, but a glossary for QA documents at W3C, including the QA framework. If the people authoring/editing these documents want to use one synonym and not use another, why would that be a problem? Other people in other context may use other terms if they want, I don't see what this has to do with the opinion of the QA WG/IG at W3C. -- Olivier Thereaux - W3C http://www.w3.org/People/olivier | http://yoda.zoy.org
