Diane, isn't this a needlessly inflexible response?  You don't make clear 
how you think the proposed community would differ from "the current
definition".  I can imagine a community as described that I would consider
consider cohousing.  I can also imagine an comunity designed and
operated a non resident based organization that I would not
consider cohousing tho cohousing-like.  I suspect that the resident
organized community would be harder to make happen.
