I'm not overly happy with the exact wording "designed for", but I can't think of anything better at the moment. I think this is a point that we can bounce around a bit. Also, I'm not sure that three wouldn't be better, as discussed. > The test for "Works with" should be a simple "can it run under some sort > of emulation?"

(E.G. netscape and all source available ports) Maybe. I'm certainly expecting native FreeBSD binaries to be the predominant case. > Do the above statements seem reasonable?
