The spec uses "backend" but this patch uses "back-end". Searching the web shows that "back end", "back-end", and "backend" are all commonly used. I don't think there is a right or wrong choice since all spellings are popular. It would be nice to stay consistent and use "backend"/"frontend" in this document.
