Well, semi-official is vague enough to encompass many things. I don't
know what was originally meant, but i do believe that you could mean a
semi-official CD set to contain the whole of the official CD + some
other stuff, it would be partially official, and so : partial, semi, ...

Not really important quibling over words though. I just wanted to say
that i remember there being CD sets with parts of non-free on it, and
maybe that was what was designed under smei-official.
