"Question:   the difference between definition and content?"

Definition is a group of predetermined words to describe what is expected, content is the description of the actual item. There can be a huge difference between what is expected and what is.

I agree with Dick too - "folk" as a label should give a rough idea as to what the content might be. However, the problem is defining the term. Pigs will fly before that gets settled.
