.... because they call it "pycnofibres". No reason to be shy about it when you
fill a semantic gap. And as the Wikipedia Dino people are usually quite quick
in source-mining DML (and kudos to them, they have raised the 'pedia's standard
a lot) I wonder how quickly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pycnofibre will
appear... or whether http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pycnofiber will be there
first ;-)
