  The basic character of diffusive transport in a magnetised plasma depends on
what kind of transport is modelled. ExB turbulence under drift ordering has
special characteristics: it is nearly incompressible, and it cannot lead to
magnetic flux diffusion if it is electrostatic. The ExB velocity is also
related to the Poynting energy flux. Under quasineutral dynamics, electric
fields are not caused by transport of electric charge but by the requirement
that the total current is divergence free. Consequences for well constructed
computational transport models are discussed in the context of a general mean
field analysis, which also yields several anomalous transfer mechanisms not
normally considered by current models.
