Is your own wording not a bit sticky also? Anyway, I have tried many wordings
in the past to convey the message which then led to lively debates ;-)) The
clearest wording in my view is to differentiate between artform and medium. 

And the medium is not just .txt as the ascii community is confining itself to,
but the myriads and myriads and myriads of media that support ascii. Well, I
refer to the recent lively debate ;-))
