Indeed I like much better the "sampling" than the "bandpass".
Aside comment, all you are saying here is new to me, since it was not
circulated
on this mailing list. I understand that the NVO has other communication
channels,
but I would think that NVO decisions which are going to affect the IVOA DM
should also be posted here. Can that be arranged ?

Pat gave me his comments on the spatial characterisation comparison page,
which I updated accordingly:
