Douglas: it's _relative_ configuration spaces that are being claimed as the "not widely heard of" thing, rather than configuration spaces in general.

ie, the not so widely heard of config spaces are the ones in which the dimensions correspond to distances between particles or whatever rather than any form of "absolute location"
