Yup, that's the definition i'm going with. There are examples of certain shots going to great lengths to be one continuous camera take. 'Timecode' (2000) being a craziest example, 4 camera, one take, the whole movie is one continuous shot/take. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0220100/

The reason i'm approaching this in this matter is to eventually start pulling in other lists. Maybe at some point setting up a blog where every shot gets a page and people can add their notation/trivia for every shot. There just seem to be many lists all over the place and having them in a database/spreadsheet might be a way to pull things together and keep track of everything.
