Again, I agree that the ATEG forum would be the right place to work
on a revision and standardization of the grammar metalanguage. I can
assume that this is what Ed Vavra would also like to see happen, but
how can we make it happen?

Standardizing the grammar terminology seems like a good idea to me, but I would urge anyone who attempts it to stick with traditional terms whenever possible. If the new terminology is too different from the familiar, I fear it will fail regardless of its superiority. Remember what happened to the metric system in America.
