Does it matter *that* much if we have both terms, in the greater scheme of 
things?
I know we're trying to keep them to a minimum, but I think we're all adult 
enough not to start a flood of duplicate terms on the basis of one precedent 
- aren't we? Please say we are!  ;-) And they're going to come out next to 
each other in a search, aren't they? Just like variant  American and British 
spellings and we're not worrying about those. (Are we? I can't spell in 
American without thinking about it!).
