I'd prefer we do not refer to undefined, unspecified things. I'd much
rather put a complete description in the specification (as Simon has done)
or refer to a fully specified source. I mistrust using phrases like "the
table algorithm" as a mental shortcut if they cannot be expanded into the
proper long form.
