What I mean is more general. We are in real life. You can only include a 
name with a definition in a table. Full stop.

This kind of discussion much repeated in here and 
ietf-languages@alverstrand.no is of no use. Because every user for the 
centuries to come can repeat it. With no other authoritative result than 
being understood by those who share her understanding - which can change.

The job of a Registry designer and then of a Registry manager is not to 
discuss the meaning of existing names but to try to provide names that will 
satisfy the users enough for them not to introduce (or use if "barred" by 
the Registry Manager thinking he has a decision authority) confusing names. 
Keeping in mind that each time a name is denied by the Registry Manager, 
this is a loss of "authority" (knowledge/trust) for the Registry, because 
it will be used outside of it, creating confusion and possible conflicts.

Intergovernance is not by rulings but by adherence to consensual propositions.
