Question from a new member in PM, answering publicly: does 'sea' require saltwater?
Board history says no. Freshwater lake and reservoir cases have always been accepted because the term is doing category work, not salinity work. If somebody wants a stricter term, make the case, but do not use it to erase old files retroactively.
I do think this needs to be stated in the guidelines before the summer pond crowd arrives.
if the route changed, write it down
