I will let Neil speak about what he meant by RAID10: whether it is raid10 + 
weird extensions, or a generalization of drive/stripe layouts.

However if you want to be so anal about names and specifications: md raid 10 
is not a _full_ 1+0 implementation. Consider the textbook scenario with 4 drives:

(A mirroring B) striped with (C mirroring D)

When only drives A and C are present, md raid 10 with near offset will not 
start, whereas "standard" RAID 1+0 is expected to keep clunking away.
