I hope you meant discussion to be public, so here goes.

Personally I like the term "TOS" (from the IP field) better than CoS, 
because it's hard to differentiate the terms QoS and CoS in spoken english 
(not that I am a native speaker, but anyway). "Diffserv" is also a better 
alternative than CoS, if TOS seems out of the question for some reason.
