Default define "mild headwork"

i've seen "mild headwork" and "minimal headwork" in a few people's sigs. i'm just wondering what some people are referring to as mild/minimal...

valve job, milling

I think once you get into port and polishing and larger valves with different seats then its no longer mild. Even just a good 5 angle job does wonders on these heads.

I call it that b/c the p&p is not professionally done so there is room for improvement. My new heads consist of- valve job, milled, T.R. port and polish. Matt, what more did you do to those heads?
