Re: message exchange patterns and # of parties

On yesterday's WS Arch WG call, the WG confirmed agreement on the following 
terminology for the parties involved in an interaction:

         Terms to Avoid          Terms to Use Instead
         ==============          ====================
         client, consumer        requester
         server                  Web service, service or provider

Maybe we should follow the WSA WG's lead in our documents as well?
