@Hitch - in what sense is a "moot" is US legal term? And where is 'moot' as meaning 'debatable' not in 'common usage'? It is widely and invariably used in that sense in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India etc.
Moot Courts are conducted in the Law schools in most Common Law countries and by some international legal institutions. AFAIK they do not have any legal standing. My guess is that that is where the USA gets its parochial usage of 'moot' to mean 'irrelevant'.
