Folks,
A comment from a colleague, this evening, prompted me to do some searching,
onlyu to discover that the word 'grid' is part of the "cloud computing" world,
apparently with both some precise meaning and some pervasive misunderstanding:
<http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-cloudgrid/>
Since the OGPX work really has nothing to do with cloud computing and is an
entirely domain of discourse, it could be confusing to use a term that is
already entrenched in this neighboring discipline.
Not sure what alternative to suggest, but though it worth raising a flag about
the word 'grid'.
