As long as "what they are" means any reasonable interpretation given by a reading of the standards involved, I'm in complete agreement. If "what they are" means anything outside of the text of the standard, I'd disagree.
<br><br>That being said, I recognize that broadening 'mis' would be a change from the current standard, and while allowable, as I said I'm willing to give up on that. (However, your using "pet scenario" to characterize something that I and many others consider "important scenario", like language detection, is unnecessary.)

As long as we keep stretching these to mean concepts that are slightly (or
entirely) different from what they were intended to be – semantics that
IMO are fairly straight forward once stated – then we're going to
continue debating what that should mean, and that portends that users will *never
understand our intent and use them consistently.</span></p>
