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? tc “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw.
