Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-1637:
-----------------------------------------

I am tempted to say yes but note that this is also the only place where we use the term "detail form." 

Do we really need the terms "master form" and "detail form?" Not suggesting that we change the schema's form:detail-fields attribute name but shouldn't we simply say container form and contained form? That seems clear.

Then:

"The form:detail-fields attribute specifies the names of the columns in detail forms that are related to columns in the parent form. The columns are used as parameters in the command for the nested form to retrieve the details for a matching master form record."

Can become:

"The form:detail-fields attribute specifies the names of the columns in contained forms that are related to columns in the containing form. The columns are used as parameters in the command for the contained form to retrieve the details from its containing form."

Noting that we don't place any limit on the containment of forms so there could be forms nested within forms more than one deep. This avoids having to craft language for those cases.

> Ed. Note We defined the format for this attribute. However, we don't define "detail forms." I understand they are a form of sub-form but I don't think we define that relationship between forms. The term "master form" occurs once, here.
