Need for the term \"word\"?

Comment:
 
Throughout the document, you use the terms \"word\" and \"token\" interchangebly. We propose to drop the term \"word\", since (as you note in sec. 1.1) it is language-specific. This proposal includes renaming of expressions like FTWords to FTTokens or FTTokenValues.

 
The background of this proposal becomes obvious in sec. 3.2 [http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xpath-full-text-10-20070518/#ftwords]. That section defines the FTWords expression, but actually uses only the notion of tokens.
