The only place they seem to refer to it is as part of another term, i.e. "legNumber". I think we could pick up some good ideas from the work of the LandXML group, though a lot of their material is not relevant to our own work. We also have to keep in mind that although we need to remain compatible with land surveyors, our actual audience is cave surveyors. The definition for "Leg" given in Jennings' speleo glossary is: "A part of a survey traverse between two successive stations."
