That's the only thing I wanted to change, yes (well, that and some refactoring 
of the text to make it more readable). The reason I called it something 
different is so that people won't get confused between the 
comprehensive-based NPOV used in Wikipedia and a more focused-based NPOV 
needed for textbooks. This is especially important because the Wikipedia 
implementation of NPOV often tends to result in articles that have everything 
in them but the kitchen sink ([[abortion]] for example is mostly about the 
controversy and history with relatively little by the way of explaining the 
various medical procedures).
