with the formula C12H22O11, being chemically
4-([beta]-D-galactosido)-D-glucose. It has a slightly
sweet taste, is dextrorotary, and is much less soluble in
water than either cane sugar or glucose. Formerly called
lactin. When hydrolyzed it yields glucose and galactose.

[1913 Webster +PJC]Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp.
az['u]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [,c]arkar[=a]
sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. Saccharine, Sucrose.]
1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,
of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by
crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as
the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It
is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food
and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the
Note below.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as
the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the
raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it
includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the
glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,
dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true
sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.
See Carbohydrate. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are
ketone alcohols of the formula C6H12O6, and they turn
the plane of polarization to the right or the left.
They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by
the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are
themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and
carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet
produced artificially belongs to this class. The
sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose
anhydrides of the formula C12H22O11. They are usually
not fermentable as such (cf. Sucrose), and they act
on polarized light.
[1913 Webster]
2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or
appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous
white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.
[1913 Webster]
3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render
acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.

[1913 Webster]Sucrose \Su"crose`\, n. [F. sucre sugar. See Sugar.] (Chem.)
A common variety of sugar found in the juices of many plants,
as the sugar cane, sorghum, sugar maple, beet root, etc. It
is extracted as a sweet, white crystalline substance which is
valuable as a food product, and, being antiputrescent, is
largely used in the preservation of fruit. Called also
saccharose, cane sugar, etc. At one time the term was
used by extension, for any one of the class of isomeric
substances (as lactose, maltose, etc.) of which sucrose
proper is the type; however this usage is now archaic.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
Note: Sucrose proper is a dextrorotatory carbohydrate,
C12H22O11. It does not reduce Fehling's solution, and
though not directly fermentable, yet on standing with
yeast it is changed by the diastase present to invert
sugar (dextrose and levulose), which then breaks down
to alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is also decomposed to
invert sugar by heating with acids, whence it is also
called a disaccharate. Sucrose possesses at once the
properties of an alcohol and a ketone, and also forms
compounds (called sucrates) analogous to salts. Cf.
Sugar.

glucose. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the
inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence the mixture is
called called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by
the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also
starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the
action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic
juice.

rfc 1123
(foldoc) | RFC 1123
The RFC "Requirements for Internet
Hosts Application and Support" which clarifies or changes the
specification of protocols given in earlier RFCs.
RFC 1123 defines the terms "MUST", "SHOULD", "MAY",
"unconditionally compliant", "conditionally compliant".
Capitals are used to emphasise that the official definition of
the word is being used.
MUST or REQUIRED means an absolute requirement for
conformance.
SHOULD or RECOMMENDED means the item can be ignored under
certain circumstances, although the full implications should
be understood.
MAY or OPTIONAL means the implementor can choose, usually
depending on whether it is needed or not.
Something "unconditionally compliant" meets all the MUST and
SHOULD requirements, "conditionally compliant" meets all the
MUST requirements and "not compliant" - does not meet some
MUST requirement.
For example, RFC 1123 amends RFC952 to say software MUST
handle either a letter or a digit as the first character of a
hostname.
