Definition of Host includes clients AND servers!? #35

Closed renghardt closed 4 years ago

renghardt commented 4 years ago

A former colleague of mine pointed out that they weren't sure if our definition of "host" includes clients AND servers, or if it's only clients. They said that "on behalf of user(s)" could be interpreted meaning just clients.

I'm pretty sure that our definition includes clients AND servers. Do you agree, Cyrill?

Perhaps we should make this definition clearer in a future revision of the draft.

Maybe let's rephrase it to be more general, e.g., rephrase "application programs"? Maybe let's just add one sentence giving examples and then one example is a server?
