That being said, I’m ambivalent. It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. As such, I think it’s probably easier to just keep it the same (aka call it “spec_version”).

The problem I have with this is, if we make this change, then either
- We make the same change to the bundle object, which is then a breaking change
- We don't make the same change to the bundle object, and now we have two fields with different names communicating the same thing
This to me is an arbitrary reason to make a breaking change. There are *a lot* of field names in STIX that are not going to make sense to a non-english speaker.

Like the idea, agree that stix_version would be clearer.

All,
For STIX 2.1 the TC decided to add a "spec_version" property to all objects (a property that will record the version of STIX to which the object conforms). I wonder if this property would be best renamed to "stix_version" instead
of "spec_version". I feel like "stix_version" might make it more clear what we are referring to, especially for non-native english speakers.
In STIX 2.0 we had "spec_version" on the Bundle, however, that has been removed from the Bundle in STIX 2.1.
I originally brought this up on slack, but wanted to make sure the broader TC could voice their opinion, especially those that do not natively speak english.
