Language is of course an ever-evolving thing, but I believe that, according to most English dictionaries: "foreign" = anything of another nationality, culture, belief (when applied to people); "international" = concerning the relationship between two nations. Hence: "the foreign office", "foreign affairs", "foreign correspondent". And: "international relations", "international diplomacy". In modern corporate English, "international" seems to refer to a whole host of things. Don't get me started on corporate-speak. So, what is this list all about? // Gregory Murphy <Gregory.Murphy@xxxxxxx> // Software Engineer // Customer Network Platform, Sun Microsystems XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
