This is much broader. For example, I cannot write a derivative called "Brian's Xdebug" or "Xdebug manual" or even "A third-party manual for Xdebug". Excluding a singleton name is fine. I'd even go so far as to say any excluding any countable set is fine. Excluding an uncountable class of names is not. -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
