Top-level article?

I sense this belongs under a more general article about friction, to consider at least atmospheric friction, and perhaps initial resistance (e.g., corrosion that breaks free). Alternatively, should this article be retitled "friction" rather than "sliding friction" and have special cases under it? Howard C. Berkowitz 17:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
