I agree, but on a high level a net /is/ "a relation between two pads/pins".
(Well, a net can have many pads/pins. A subnet would be restricted to two,

No. A subnet, in my mind, is not restricted to two nodes (pin/pad).
The +5V net with netname "five_volt_positive" can contain a "high
current" subnet including DC-DC converter, big capacitor, fuse, high
current devices.
Just to make this clear.
Just to make it known, "a subnet is a point to point connection within a
net" was the
one and only DEFINITION of what a sub net is I found and understood. All
other ways
I can conceive are generalizations of that, ie. "a subnet is a list of 2
or more pins within
a net". For lists of 3 or more pins attributes like length or impedance
don't make any sense,
so this appears to me a bit like sound and smoke.
