The OED thinks the banister also refers to the handrail, and this is certainly common usage in my experience. I think the article should be updated to reflect this, rather than claiming the use of banister for handrail is erroneous. http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/banister?view=uk

- I agree. I've made that change; if someone wants to revert that, please support your opinion that this widespread usage is in error with a reference. Thanks! Jutta (talk) 22:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
