I think the document should include definitions for accurate, nominal and average molecular weights.
New Page Format
Ionworker (and others) - I would like to implement a new format that helps to distinguish between comments and suggestions on terms and the "official" proposed terms. To distinguish the "official" term from the old terms and comments, I would like to offset them in a box at the top of the page (see the Atomic Mass Unit page. The text in this box will be edited by the IUPAC Task Group based on comments and other input. There can be a comments subsection on the main page, but I would like to use the "Discussion" pages for that since they are ready to go for that purpose.

Accurate, Nominal and Average Mass
Per John Firth's comment, I started pages for Accurate Mass, Nominal Mass, and Average Mass.
