[Wien] Question on terminology clarification in UG

[Peter Blaha]

The UG says:

A operations: does not change magnetization, kept
C operations: changes magnetization somehow, discarded
B operations: "inverts" magnetization. When originally inversion 
symmetry is present, this type is kept, otherwise also discarded.

Magnetization is defined as axial vector (see UG), so you have to check 
the behaviour of the "induced current loop" under the sym.op.

I cannot say at the moment for sure what that means for a particular 
(odd m) orbital momentum contribution, but guess what you are saying is 
correct.
