Re: application tag

TDG says:

"The appelation "application" is usually reserved for larger software
packages--WordPerfect, for example, but not grep.  In some domains,
Application may also apply to a piece of hardware."

Your usage of application for Mozilla or XFree86 sounds valid.

References to the Mozilla project would be "application", but if you say that you should run the "mozilla" binary, you would call that a "command". Is that proper usage?
