This has been a longstanding problem in the IETF; in fact, the inability to 
agree on what "site" means was one of the reasons SLAs were deprecated.  The 
word "site" is often abused to mean "administrative domain" rather than 
"physical location" due to the ISP-centric nature of the IETF and RIRs. 
It's virtually impossible to tell, in any particular context, which meaning 
an author meant.  We need to stop using the word entirely...
