I am not one to quibble over terminology. I'm happy to use whatever
terminology everyone else wants. However, if the goal is to be
consistent with OMA, then shouldn't the circle labled "target or target
wrapper" in Bob's picture be labled "client" and the circle labeled
"Access Decision" be referred to as the "target"? HRAC is an interface
that becomes instantiated in an object, the ADO, the client of which is
a "client" whose "target object" is the ADO.
