Obviously, I knew what Jihad meant. That wasn't the question. I wanted
to know about the significance of the alternate spelling. I thought
there might be some regional linguistic feature that might lead to its
alternate transliteration.

Told me what I needed to know

Fantastic research on your part -- far more info than I expected. 
Just one thing:  Even when I did get his name right, I could never
find out any more about John Steele: his life in captivity and after,
until his death in 1963.  I suppose no one has written a biography. 
Pity.  But that doesn't detract from the info you sent me.  Now I know
why I (and almost everyone else, it seems) use Google!  Molly

Great! Fascinating stuff, well researched.

If you have any journalistic inclinations, there's an article lurking there.

Get in before someone else does!

Thanks! 

The article you mentioned by G. Shank (1993), "Abductive multiloguing
-- the semiotic dynamics of navigating the net" was of great help. (I
found the article on a different server:
http://www.monash.edu.au/journals/ejvc/shank.v1n1 and I also browsed
through their archive and found various approaches to my subject.)

I am still interested in more references of this kind.
