Yes - deliberately so. In MPOA we needed a term that carried absolutely
no connotations of connectivity or the lack of it. This was purely a
term for describing address summarisation. I think that is also the
term that you are looking for. I, too, think that APR is the
wrong term for what Yakov is describing - his term carries some connectivity
implications with it, at least as currently defined in draft-ietf-rolc-apr-00.

We still need your NBMA definition.

Agreed - for this special case it is not worth inventing a new TLA or FLA.
