Define "endpoint" and "end-to-end" #64

Closed renghardt closed 2 years ago

renghardt commented 2 years ago

As discussed, this PR adds definitions for "endpoint" and "end-to-end", whereby I thought the "end-to-end" definition fits well under the later heading and doesn't need to be under our "core" definitions.

I think all occurrences of "host" can be safely substituted by "endpoint", and indeed should be, because surely a non-host endpoint can perform path selection as well as a host can :slightly_smiling_face: In the 0-RTT Transport Converter, "host" and "endpoint" appear to be used as synonyms, so I think it's fine to switch "endpoint" here, too, though we could always go back to using "host", which is an example of an endpoint.

I'm also adding a few more acknowledgments, so now that section includes everyone who has reviewed the doc and made substantial comments in these reviews. Shall we also include everyone who has made substantial comments at the mic? Please point it out if you think I have missed someone.

Having made the requested change, I'll go ahead and merge this, as another change depends on it.
