terms and examples of how they are useful in describing real systems.
For some reason, I prefer to used standardized terminology. It tends to
have more shared meaning. Otherwise terminology might be carefully
applied by the speaker but differentially understood by the listener.
That's the essence of ambiguity.
Hence, RFC 5598 wins the find-a-definition game.
