Geoff:
You've raised a similar thought to mine. My dictionary defines 
stucco as "fine plaster used for coating wall surfaces or moulding 
into architectural decorations."

Is the US definition different to mine? Because even if houses are 
wooden-framed, I cannot see how the wall between the frames 
can be made of a coating plaster.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Stucco is basically cement and usually spread over a wired or other rough,
porous surface. Usually two layers are applied for complete coverage and it
can be applied over a minimal wood framing, when it hardens it's very strong
and basically makes a cement structure when cured.
