You don't have to go back in history for examples of this; they exist in the current ruleset. "Crime" was un-defined a while back, but the word is still used in a few rules, and the meaning has become relevant before now. I remember a judge giving a high sentence in an Endorsing Forgery case because it was defined as a "Class-8 Crime", and the judge judging that although this was undefined, the other crimes mentioned in the ruleset were only Class 2, so this one must be particularly bad. -- ais523
