A "long wire antenna" can be fed at any point along its length, not only
at 
one end, [[snip]]

Well, if its fed anywhere except from the end, I would call it something
like a dipole, doublet, center fed zepp, off center fed dipole etc.  But
the true definition of a long wire is a wire that is at least one
wavelength long or multiples of a wavelength at the lowest frequency. 
One that is cut for 40 meters on each half is either a doublet or a
dipole.  Technically speaking of course ! ;-)
