I say it is compelling stylistically (see Robins’ Comment), compelling Googlistically, and an immaterial change within the bounds of OASIS rules.
I would be happiest if someone else weighs in, but unless there is a complaint, let’s make the change as proposed.

Hi Toby,
I'm happy to change it in the title and leave the body content alone. That way, you get hits from both patterns.

Even if it is consistent now, I, personally, find your argument that it googles better compelling.

Whoops, sorry. Nevermind. I just realized that it is "&" throughout the content. I should have looked more carefully. I withdraw the request.

Hi folks,
I'm QC'ing the 'Retail Block & Tier Prices' Committee Note. Does the TC have a problem with changing the title to "Block and Tier"? It seems to be done both ways when I do a search on Google, though 'and' seems to get more results. I prefer to avoid non-alphanumeric characters in titles if I can - 'and' strikes me as more formal.
Thanks - this CN will be ready to announce soon.
Happy New Year, /chet
