Ugh. Well, someone edited the definition and I *think* this edit answers

Well, someone edited the definition and I *think* this edit answers > those questions. In a sense, it does. But if one were to name the wrong standard and if this word were narrow in some sense which included "the type" of that standard, then one would be absuing the word, although they might be understandable semantically. Lojban defaults to semantic vagueness, so that is what I would propose in this case, in order to clear up any questions about abuse. :)
