My own definition for "world class" relies on the more
familiar "first class" and "second class": a second-class
product is acceptable for a local market, particularly if
the market doesn't know that there are better products
available elsewhere; conversely, a world-class product is
one that would be judged superior anywhere in the world,
and would be worthy of serious consideration no matter what
other competing products are available.
Usage example: techwr-l is a world-class resource for
communicators.
