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.

That way, you get hits from both patterns. /chet On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 5:07 PM, Considine, Toby (Campus Services IT) < [email protected] > wrote: Even if it is consistent now, I, personally, find your argument that it googles better compelling. tc "Computers are useless.

Nevermind. I just realized that it is "&" throughout the content. I should have looked more carefully. I withdraw the request. /chet On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 4:57 PM, Chet Ensign < [email protected] > wrote: 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.
