I have yet to see anything I prefer to what Cees has offered.

I don't think it is required that we have the most precise topological 
descriptions. The proposed terms are reasonable and understandable by 
anyone who desires to understand.

The simple definitions provided are comprehensible.
Precise definitions or descriptions can be provided for those who seek 
to understand specifics. The general definitions will be sufficient for 
most.
