Document Annex?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Susan Park wondered: <<Has anyone heard or used the term "Annex" for  
attachments to technical documents?  I'm unfamiliar with this term-- 
if you use it, how is an "annex" different from an "appendix"? >>

Yes, it's a standard term, but seems to be more common in British-  
and French-influenced cultures; in fact, in French, an Appendix is  
simply called an "Annexe". In North American English, "Appendix" is  
overwhelmingly more common, except in some specific genres; in  
contract law, for instance, I believe "annex" is common. (Don't quote  
me on that one... not a lawyer.)
