Of course, you are correct in this.
Peter wanted a list dedicated to "Dixieland jazz"....Hence his the name for 
the list.
Now the list has been adulterated from that concept with the phrase OKOM 
which seems, mostly, an umbrella to include classic jazz, bop, bebop etc.

I will have to let someone else draw the line as to what is appropriate on 
this dixieland list.
