I feel that naming it such, from an authority such as the TAG, does justify policy-makers to write such conditions-of-use. "Tainting it as a sin"? I must be missing something. What is wrong with the word "deep"? as in "not shallow" meaning "not to the highest level of the hierarchy". Can you think of an alternative word for the issue which you would prefer? (There is, close but not related, the "deep web" which is the data which is buried behind interactive web pages, and not therefore indexed.) TimBL
