But if there are several models, are they all similar enough to make SOA 
meaningful as a term?

Which model is your preferred option and does it match everyone elses 
preferred option?

If SOA can imply any one of the models you're aware of plus a pile of 
others that you don't know about but are used by others, how is the term 
meaningful outside of a single persons reasonings?
