I would only advocate _adding_ "book" and "page" as _synonyms_, and only 
if there were no performance or other downsides.  Under no circumstances 
would I advocate removing "stack" and "card".

HC users looking for alternatives have likely found them by now.  But 
ToolBook users may not be aware that a simpler way of delivering to 
multiple platforms is available. When they get around to discovering 
Rev, it would be nice to support their scripts without modification. 
Tokens have been added for SuperCard and OMO compatibility, so this is 
consistent with the engine's history.
