I've been looking at various online sources of information, but I've just not been able to get straigt in my mind what the difference is between a rabbet and a fillister.
By way of inference and comparing a simple rabbet plane like this:

To a moving fillister plane like this:

Other than the addition of fence and depth stop, is the key difference a cross grain nicker? So, is the difference between a rabbet and a fillister similar to the difference between a groove and a dado? As in a groove runs with the grain, likewise a rabbet runs with the grain, but a dado and fillister run across the grain?
