| ``Historical note and terminology''

| Maybe it would be a good idea to mention that
in some european (especially russian) literature
what is known as compact used to be referred
to as "bicompact", and "compact" referred to
what is now known as countably compact.
Also, I've seen references to "bicompact" meaning
compact and Hausdorff.
My sources are
L. S. Pontriagin. _Continuous Groups_. National Publishing House for Technico-Theoretical Literature, 2nd edition, Moscow: 1954.
