Re: its too late now, we got both.
opportunity to (a) fix up the whole problem by eliminating both and
creating "net.office", and (b) creating "net.wordproc".  If you really
believe that word processing is strictly (or even mostly) a subset of
office automation, you will jump at my suggestion to create "net.ao.wp.mc",
with "mc" standing for "mathematical calculation".  After all, math
is necessary in word processing, so it should be a subgroup of it, right?
All sarcasm aside, word processing is a general tool, useful in program
preperation, program documentation, scientific investigation, and even
(yes) office automation.  Not to mention everything else.  How many of
you out there who have written your scientific (or English or History)
papers on a computer text processing system want to go back to typewriters?
