Outdated Wiki Page?

Hi,
I think some related pages need to be updated as well. For example,
http://bazaar-vcs.org/StandaloneBranch reads:
"Standalone branches contain two components: The RCS data and a working
tree."
This contradicts the statement that:
"If there is no tree, it is called a "standalone branch"."
I would like to add/modify these terms to the glossary
(http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrGlossary), and possibly also their individual
pages. Before I actually do so, are they correct? They are mostly drawn
from what was recently added to /Branch, and I am hoping to clarify
rather than misinform and confuse :)
Branch: ordered list of revisions (record of commits)
Checkout: working tree in a separate location from its associated branch
Repository: revision storage location
Repository branch: branch under a repository that may be shared with
other branches
Revision: checkpoint in history (state of a working tree as recorded by
a commit)
Shared repository: repository used by multiple branches
Standalone branch: branch without a working tree in the same location
Standalone tree: branch, working tree and repository in the same location
Tag: descriptive phrase used as a nickname for a revision
Working tree: directory with editable files associated with a branch
Regards,
Eugene Wee
