And I deliberately fell into your trap, tongue in cheek:-)

Maybe we should avoid traps and fooling around in them, as it
just confuses others and waistes our time. I do think there are valid
points coming out of our discussion here. I have tried to avoid your
ad hominem remarks and traps, and just try to be constructive.

I am a little puzzled with what you mean here. RAID 1+0 is covered
in DDF 2.0 as a description of RAID-1 or RAID-1E , and then striping it
according to 4.3.1 . I do think they should add something about calling
it RAID 1+0 or maybe RAID-1E+0 or some such. And then explain something
about the term "RAID10" and why you should rather call it
RAID-1+0 or RAID-1E+0, to indicate it is a Secondary RAID level, and
to avoid ambiguity. 

I have given some remarks on RAID10 on 
http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/feedback/
