This leads me to a question: what exactly *is* a "white paper" and why
are they called that?

from the ones I've seen, it looks like it's what the victorians called
a monograph, that is, a short paper on a specific aspect of a specific
topic, hitting the highlights but not intended to be an exhaustive
coverage of the topic.

yes? no?
