   Format: MarkdownItexThat is highly reminiscent of [the topology defined by an apartness relation](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/apartness+relation#topology). This topology is always $T_1$, although I don\'t see why it would need to be $T_2$.

   Format: MarkdownItexThe first sentence of [[open subspace]] defined a subset to be open if its inclusion map was an open map. This is a bit circular given that the first sentence of [[open map]] defines a map to be open if the image of each open subspace is open. (-: I rearranged the page to start with the classical notion as part of the definition of a topological space and then proceed to generalizations to convergence spaces, locales, and so on.

   Format: MarkdownItexThat first sentence wasn\'t supposed to be a definition (despite being labelled as such by Urs) but an all-encompassing true statement going to the heart of the matter. If anything should be rearranged, it\'s [[open map]]. That said, your new version of the first sentence of [[open subspace]] (also not a definition) is actually pretty good.
