"Subset" is the killer word here. Is means
different things to different people. In
an SML context "simple" also means different
things to different people. Simple for
programmers, simple for content creators,
etc.
I am particularly fond of the way the word
"subset" has been abused in WAP which has
a JavaScript implementation which is an
"extended subset" of ECMA262. Go figure!
