Well, I am not an English native speaker, so maybe the word "tagline" is not the best choice. Nonetheless, I saw this word used here and there and I thought that the meaning was "a line [of text] used as a label", since "tag" (also) means "label". Anyway, what I meant was that, when I submit comments to the FSF consulation system, I structure titles as follows tagline: brief explanation where tagline is a short label that identifies the kind of comment. I've been doing so since GPLv3draft2 and I think that it's a good way to make classification easier... I hope this clarifies. -- But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend. -- from _Coming to America_ .....................................................
