Implications for generalized Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling, namely KNO scaling at a fixed pseudorapidity interval, are discussed. Predictions can be obtained for semi-inclusive pseudorapidity distributions and vice versa. These predictions agree very well with the CERN ISR and p-barp collider data and they should be tested against e/sup +/e/sup -/, lepton-nucleon, and other hadronic data. A theorem about the relative magnitudes of the moments for different generalized KNO curves is proven. Consequences and validity of a ''strong scaling hypothesis'' are discussed.
