Subset notation

On the contrary, I think that the subset article should introduce the
notation that is actually preferred in other articles, so that the
[[subset]] tag in an article points to a gloss of the notation that
readers will see.  Explanations of variant and historical uses, and
why modern authors tend to avoid them, are good material for a section
of the subset article, but not the lead.  This applies to more than
subset--WP links that point to articles that lead with different
conventions are a real problem, and this page is the best hope for
addressing the problem.  -Dan Hoey 15:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
