This only changes the one sentence

but without changing the section header, or other instances of the word "proxy" in the same sentence (not to mention in the same paragraph). So... I think we need to do one of two things:
I am inclined to option 2 for the third (pending) release in order not to delay publication, but we should consider further for the next release.
"Proxy" is an accepted term for what we are talking about, and a Proxy is just one kind of an Intermediary... so Proxy is simply more specific. We could just add a sentence instead that just says "Note that a proxy is one example of a WoT Intermediary as defined in [[WoT-Architecture]]". I would suggest doing this without changing anything else; that is, then we should keep on using "proxy" here, with the understanding that it is an example of an Intermediary.
We decided in the 2019-11-05 we decided not to merge this PR, but in a future edit add a sentence noting that a proxy is a special case of an Intermediary.
This is for issue #123.
