Christine,

We (you and I), agree.
It may be a temporary coincidence that the word configure is not
currently in the requirements document.

I'm not suggesting we "lose" the definition, but I'd like us to get to a
finite and as-short-as-necessary list of key terms we will repeatedly use.

Regards,
Jay Nash
