Hi Lindsay --

It seems to me that it's more important to include a list of the equivalent
terms across the set of manuals. This is going to be the source of
confusion, not style. If your group has the time, it would be worthwhile to
add cross references between the variant terms in the indexes for each to of
the manuals. Easier said than done!

Just a thought.
