Default On-Off-On vs. On-None-On .

I raised this issue sometime last year. The terminology can be confusing.

ON-OFF-ON means the switch has three positions. In the center position, none
of the contacts is closed.

An ON-(none)-ON switch is a regular DPDT switch. It has no central third
position.

Does this make sense?
