Not necessarily. In any case, it illustrates my point that "stat.
rev." in a publication title, abstract or list of keywords will not
ring the exact same bell with every reader.

A precise definition of the term has to be laid down first, in a
standard reference that most readers will think and be able to consult
- a source such as the ICZN Code.
