R802 - intermediary processing w/o reading/processing entire message

802 currently refers to "message portions", while 806 refers to "message
components", in talking about targeting parts of messages to particular
intermediaries.

I'd like to agree upon a single term, and propose the XML-centric
"elements" in both situations. This is the most obvious solution, but it
ties us into a per-element model of targeting. The other route would be to
use a generic term like "parts" or "portions".

Comments?
