I prefer to use the term "Translation" to refer to that approach, to
distinguish from the other MDA approaches that I find less than
ideal, though possibly still useful.  So when I say MDA is "not
very useful" I don't include Translation as being part of MDA.
translation would be useful if it weren't for just a few remaining
problems.
