My last mail seems not very clear.  In short, my concern is:

  - Are these usages of terms "alert" and "advisory" intended?
    Or, just vacillations?
      - If intended, how "alert" or "advisory" is chosen in each page?
      - If vacillations, I propose unification of these terms.
        However, I have no idea which ("alert" or "advisory") should
        be used.

Any comments?
