Apologies to one and all for sparking this off topic discussion.
It was I who originally questioned Alistair's use of the term, and I who should be apologizing if this thread is off-topic, not Léonie or David, who were just trying to help. 

From the list description at:

//www.freelists.org/list/access-uk
I assumed that a clarification of the technical terminology used when discussing accessible software would be on-topic, particularly if that terminology is subtly interfering (in my view) with the resolution of "issues or problems surrounding ... access technology".
But I am sorry for the list noise if that conclusion was wrong. Perhaps we can get back to a more practical discussion of the bugs in question?
