Lindil - thank you for taking time to give your thoughts on the subject. That was a very clarifying post on a somewhat slippery subject, as I have learned.
One of the reasons I originally asked the question was that I had seen a fair number of posts in discussions where a respondent would use the word 'canon' to validate his position or invalidate another's. I wanted to see the yardstick by which such replies were being measured.
