Me, sneaky? 8-)

But seriously, my proposal was just to remove redundant information, not
to change the meaning.  Saying "entity, processor, or resource" is akin
to saying "red, blue, or a colour"; might as well just say "a colour".

That would be a significant restriction over what's permitted by the
current definition, and would prevent a whole lot of Web-style
interactions.  -1
