The [[lexicographical order]] on Σ* is ''not'' a [[well-ordering]] (for example, what is the least element in ''a*b''?), but only a total order. [[User:Fudo|fudo]] 13:53, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
== strings, not characters ==
There are lots of references to this page throughout wikipedia for a "string" that is not a set of characters; a string of bits or bytes, for example. I think it is important that the article be cleaned-up to make it clear that "character strings" are the most common uses of the type, but the term might apply to vectors of data not representable by a string in a particular language. I've made a couple of edits in this direction, but I think some more effort needs to go into the issue. -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] 22:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
