Even so it does seem slightly jarring to me to see technical terms that have accepted meanings in other realms be redefined in what I would say is completely different way in this context.
To be fair, your point is both valid and invalid at the same time. I think the term has been shifting, in large part due to cloud computing's blurring of the line. EG, phrases like "google's web server" are still heard, and clearly that statement involves multiple servers not one. The audience for this document is wider than just the technical community as well (or else I'd be more inclined to think you might have a strong point). -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI
