Don't get me wrong. What I wrote was in no way an offical definition or something taken from a book. It was simply what I would define as neutral, from the top of my mind.
What happens if you use a center-tapped transformer and connects one side to ground instead of the center? You will have one wire with 120V to the grounded wire and one with 240V to ground. Which wire is then the neutral?
I will look up the other thread.

Yes, there were other countries using red as ground. I've seen a list at some time, but I can't remeber which. Just about every colour has been used for every purpose. The Soviet Union used black as PE. (Although I doubt they ever used very much PE...)
