I was using 'matrix' because both laypersons and mathematicians would know what the RFCs are referring to. This would not be the case with 'tensor', although 'multidimensional array' would probably be OK. Although strictly the word 'array' can refer to multidimensional structures, in Perl the term has generally been used to refer to 1d structures (such as 'array of arrays' in 'perldoc perllol'). What term would everyone like to use?
