An immense amount of useful feedback has been received during the peer review process, far more than the Working Group could digest in time for inclusion in this first edition. An extensive list of candidate terms has been amassed for future consideration and we hope to prepare a much-enlarged edition in due course. Meanwhile, further feedback would be appreciated (see section 1.7 of the introduction).
