Well, we have this thing called ChangeLog:

2009-12-04  Waldek Hebisch  <[email protected]>

        * src/interp/trace.boot, src/interp/i-analy.boot,
        src/interp/buildom.boot, src/interp/i-coerce.boot,
        src/interp/parse.boot, src/interp/i-output.boot,
        src/interp/i-spec2.boot, src/interp/g-cndata.boot,
        src/interp/setq.lisp, src/interp/i-funsel.boot,
        src/interp/i-eval.boot, src/interp/br-con.boot,
        src/interp/i-spec1.boot, src/interp/clammed.boot:
        Replace 'Domain' by 'Type' and 'Subdomain(Domain)'
        by 'Category'.

And there was discussion in the mailing list.

All references type 'Domain' is documentation should be
replaced by 'Type'.  But 'Domain' is used quite a lot
with different meaning so it is hard to search for and
some erroneous reference my still remain...
