    <thetext>7.2.10 fn:min, etc.
It says that convert_untypedAtomic is defined &quot;by induction&quot;.
Usually such definitions are said to be &quot;by recursion&quot;, whereas
induction is a method of proof, for example, to prove that a 
recursive definition is well-defined.  The distinction 
doesn&apos;t really matter much, but I think that is the usual
understanding.</thetext>
