Stop moaning about that, Zorin.....
It's a matter of terminology, further confused by the early "locked-in stall" accidents of some of the early T-tails being referred to as "deep stalls".
I would have called AF447 a "deep stall" in the general sense, in that it was a persistent, fully developped stall, with a few nasty contributing factors (no airspeed, THS, confused meatware), which lasted until FL000....
Maybe you could suggest some 'formal' terminology?
