  1. Follow-up on "brownfield": very satisfying that the OED examples for this compound cover the full range of possible spellings, that is 1. concatenated (= as one word), 2. spaced (brown field), and hyphenated (brown-field). In addition, while "brown-field" only occurs in quotes, the two other variants occur both with and without quotes.
