Tony, <p> <i>Edgewise</i> and <i>Pointwise</i> seem perfectly reasonable terms, but when I try to say them to myself, edgewise seems to me to mean 'along an edge', and I find myself wondering just what pointwise means. <p> I think they'd be fine if used in a consistent body of work, but in a mish-mash of terminology such as you find in the CVP today, they'd be confusing unless explained on every page they are used (or at least, used with a link to the explanation).
