Steve, Is it not a good idea to confine the category specification a little
bit more, After all, some parts have a first word in their name that are not
good examples for a category name. If we want to use these meta statements
in the future, now is the appropriate time to enforce some regulation on it.
I think it will get out of hands and result in a unusable mess if you don't.
Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

| (...) Until now, no one has paid much attention to the idea of having these keywords around. I agree with you completely, but it's a chicken-and-egg problem. Until we've got software to support using the CATEGORY entries, we can't depend on them. (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
