  This note summarizes some recently published results, that are reported in
cond-mat today. Its aim is twofold. First, I believe that it is worthwhile to
clarify the theoretical interpretation of a series of x-ray scattering
experimental results, whose implications are apparently not well-known in the
recent literature. A comment about K edge linear dichroism experiments is also
provided. In second place, I would like to add a personal opinion about the
role of non-local correlations in the insulating ground-state of V_2O_3.
