I find the term `declarative' to be almost completely meaningless.

I was originally thinking of having the final sentence: "There are no clear, accepted meanings for any of these terms."

Clear, no. Accepted, yes. Let Jonathan Cast repeat that statement to people who organise conferences on Declarative Programming, or those who assembled: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/foldoc/90/29.htm (or http://foldoc.org/foldoc.cgi?declarative+language) I can't see what is the purpose of all your argument...
