Non-water steam?

So non-water gas is not technically steam, right? I infer as much from the opening, but would not have defined steam as water only if someone had asked me yesterday. Should the distinction be stated in the opening somewhere? --Joe Quick 15:49, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Joe, I echo Paul's comment. If the gas is not H20, then it definitely is not water. It is not a matter of it being "technically" correct, it is definitely correct. Milton Beychok 16:42, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
