Whether we
call something a "byte" and "octet" or an "int8" is irrelevant

You understand it or not, the Assembly Types exist,
and you will never succeed to change them.

Who's changing them?
Last time I checked, HLA supports all the "assembly types" you're
talking about. The difference between HLA and your product is that I
let the programmer create the own names for those types and I provide
a set of standard types names that map to those types so they may more
clearly document their programs by specifying intent when they use
type names.

This has nothing to do with assembly language. As John Found said in
this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.lang.asm/browse_frm/thread/c7f117022e1b62c3/816b83ac8e1b6009?lnk=gst&q=RosAsm+Proc+Macro&rnum=6&hl=en#816b83ac8e1b6009

defining types is part of the data definition language and has nothing
to do with assembly language, per se. I happen to agree with him on
that point, even if I disagree with his characterization of an
assembler based on implementation.
