Joe,

I think your definitions of fog and stain make sense in gum and are
consistent in other media. I agree we need a term for the effect you
describe below. How about calling it what it does (since we don't know what
it is caused by). Using your words, "reversal shift" would seem to be a
clear enough term for what is apparently a uniquely gum problem. Or perhaps
"gum reversal shift" to make clear that it is just for gum.
