That goes both ways. You can tell that to those who are subverting terminology that have clearly been documented for the past 20 years in our official glossary ;-). > I still find it strange to call "main" an object ID ;) even if our > current terminology says that's fine. Heck, the glossary says a name > is a "unique" identifier… so there ought not to be more than one way > to spell it, even if there are many notations to refer to it? Alas… I do not think it is OK. "main" is *NOT* an object ID or object name. "main" can be used where an object name or object identifier is called for to uniquely specify an object.
