Sure, but we have many existence proofs that having a name to refer
to a technology that isn't simply a piece of the instantiation of the
technology is goodness, routing!=ospf architecture, MPLS != routing
architecture, signaling != rsvp/ldp architecture...
I can live with what we have but think we're going to have more
confusion and terminology arguments as a result.

PS so what do you call the architecture of a device that is a PCE,
PCE device architecture?

Hello,
Nice to see some bandwidth being used.
"PCE Architecture" -- an architecture that includes a PCE.
"PCE" -- something that performs path computation.
"PCC" -- something that requests path computation.
In the Abstract...
This document specifies the architecture for a Path Computation
Element (PCE)-based model.
Is it really necessary to then state... "We will term this architecture
the PCE Architecture" ?
I believe that at no other point in the architecture document is there a
reference to "PCE" that means "PCE architecture" except it says explicitly
"PCE architecture". I would be happy for you to point out places where
this is a problem.
In other documents (such as draft-ietf-pce-comm-protocol-gen-reqs-02.txt)
appear to make exactly the same distinction.
Thus, there is no use of the term "PCE" to mean an architecture. It is
always used to mean a network element. There is no need to (re-)introduce
the term "PCS" because it is isomorphic to "PCE" as currently defined.
Thanks,
Adrian
