Which QAS document had *that* in it?

Actually none. My error. I apologize. My reference to the word "desertion"
actually stems from an internal Seagate document which referenced part of
the original QAS document. It was probably run through a spell checker and
corrected the word "de-assertion" to "desertion". This is my point
exactly! The cyber dictionary could not find the term "de-assertion".
Thanks for correcting my error Richard. The original document was: QAS
Proposal T10/97-199r9.
(Oooh.... sorry Richard. I just realized you are the author. I didn't
mean to be so critical of your work. The term "de-assertion" is so widely
used that it has become a de facto standard in our technical lexicon.
Maybe we should invent our own, distinct terms as we need them; others in
the editing business seem to think it's fair game.)
