 Subj: ACCEPTED PRACTICE             Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE


 With regard to the ANSI ANS X3/J14 Forth Standardization Effort a number
 of people, including some TC members have been using terms such as

 "common practice"   and  "existing practice"

 in their discussions regarding additions/deletions of words from
 the current BASIS.

 John Wavrik asked me to post the documents where this phrase originally 
 appeared.   It turn out that neither phrase appears and the correct 
 phrase that should be used instead of these terms is:

 " accepted practice "


 In the next three messages is the original 1987 accepted Scope of Work 
 for ANS X3/J14 TC and a couple of recent statements in the form of a 
 proposal from L Forsley and a comment to the TC by D Colburn.

 As Dennis would say:   I hope this helps!
