What a technical and concise explanation and so esoteric in the defining
moments with "a melted pile of glop". The joys of being Canadian. 
It was nice seeing you again at APEX.
Take care.

That's an easy one. Lead free has no lead and an RoHS compliant one has
no lead, cadmium, mercury, Cr(VI) or the two families of brominated fire
retardants - above the amounts set by the EU for each homogeneous
material that is mechanically separable. However, being lead free or
RoHS compliant does not mean that the component is lead free PROCESS
compliant!  Many connectors have never had a stitch of lead in them, but
would be a melted pile of glop if you ran them through a reflow oven at
250C.
