Common and Specified words
I think that the convention (if not mentioned) should be described
in say wd28 line 18  Terminology . I'd suggest for consideration the
following:
Terms defined in this specification or used from specific cited
references are capitalized; the same term not capitalized has its
normal English meaning.
Thanks!

There are times in EMIX when we use common
words prescriptively, meaning exactly as defined in the Spec

There are time when we are just using
common English.

Price. Product. Schedule.

It is my impulse to separate the normative
and non-normative use by the use of capitalization. All
non-normative common use of the words occurs * before *
the definition. A commenter suggests that all be capitalized.

Comments?
