I can understand why we might want to differentiate between commands the
user might run and commands that are just being mentioned (my initial
assumption), but the official definition, which requires a different tag
for links and Firefox when mentioned in the same context, seems
arbitrary and kind of silly.
The difference is, <application>Firefox</application> is the GUI app,
while the command <command>firefox</command> uses the script at
<filename>/usr/bin/firefox</filename> to run the <command>firefox-
bin</command> binary.
Does that make sense? I'm pretty sure that is what the DocBook
committee meant.
