Research direction

Start with the issue discussion and the draft's existing exposition-only GET notation; compare the proposed names and identify the affected occurrences. Done means a maintainer-approved name is selected and the draft consistently reflects that decision.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

P3-Other
