'''Final consideration''': if several editors over a considerable period have independently arrived at the conclusion that the lead sentence would benefit from the addition/restoration of "or Down's syndrome" and have duly proceeded to edit the article in that sense, only to see their edit swiftly reverted by a single editor who apparently considers their edit unnecessary (and says so), might it not be appropriate to refamiliarise ourselves with [[WP:DONTREVERT]], in that whatever any particular editor's individual preference happens to be, no one can seriously argue that adding/restoring "or Down's syndrome" actually makes the article worse?

::A bunch of people here disagree that it is needed. It is in the infobox and the body of the text.

:Doc James: by "a bunch of people here disagree" do you not perhaps mean "Doc James disagrees"? First of all, "Down syndrome" versus "Down's syndrome" is not just a "spelling difference"; there is also, and more importantly, a '''pronunciation difference''' too. Above all, it is the fact that -- regardless of anyone's views as to the merits of the United States National Institutes of Health recommendation concerning nomenclature -- "Down's syndrome" is the name by which this condition is not only very commonly but indeed in many parts of the world primarily known
