Yes, we definitely need to say we've been working on the shoulders  
of, well.... eminent colleagues, but the effort of creating an IAU  
thesaurus conforming new thesaurus has to be done by someone else,  
thanks (in principle, identify which tokens have been minimally  
changed if any).  I personally don't see why we can't get the present  
vocabulary officially sanctioned, which would be a hell of a lot easier.

Amen.

Hmmm.... maybe I should have pushed the analogy more in the direction  
of cheescake.....
