Thanks for the plug - I'd be particularly interested in hearing
feedback on this article from members of this group, as we are in the
process of drafting a document to propose to SUO based on the ideas
described in it. If you don't get or have access to CACM, I can send
you an e-copy.
Also, if anyone else has encountered any misuses of subsumption other
than those described in the article, I would like to create a
web-accessible catalog of these types of errors. I've recently
encountered another one: "aboutness"
