The existence of the term ``realm'' is purely due to a namespace 
conflict.  ``group'' is a SQL keyword, as in ``... GROUP BY ...''
The terms ``field'' and ``form'' originated from the thought that phpesp 
could be modified to be a generic data-entry system.  Doing away with 
field/form is probably a good thing.  Be careful using ``group'' as it 
will certainly collide in the SQL namespace.
