The X.420 attribute which in the 1984 version of X.400 was called "cross references" did in the 1988 version of X.400 change name to "related-IPMs". Does anyone know why this change was made? I think the old term was better for two reasons: (a) The term "references" is used in RFC822 for the same heading field. (b) "related" will for most non-technical people lead their thoughts to family relationships. Escpecially the word "relations" will easily lead your thoughts to family relations, and "references" would thus be a better term.
