there are a couple of old lexicographer's precepts that go like this: a) be brief, b) keep it simple. these predate online dictionaries, which seemingly have less stringent space requirements, but.
anyway, applying these, and also considering a comment in the voting thread regarding Too Much Information, I arrived, as I mentioned in the event, at the choice of C or H. in fact, I was just about to pull the trigger on H when it struck me that not even the OED uses an obvious Brit. spelling such as "specialised" within their definitions! (sorry, Jackie - too clever by half. : )
