[tor-talk] Terminology: Deep v Dark Web

Thanks Rick, for the encouragement and the suggestions. I've added a
few definitions ('Open Internet' to represent your 'Commercial', as well
as a 'Private network'), but I've left the dark web as is ... not sure
that 'Neutral' fits, but I will keep it in mind.
