Question of Introduction Consistency

[Michael Stiefel <development@reliablesoftware.com>]

The Introduction to the "Goals, Critical Success Factors and Requirements 
starts out::

"A reference architecture is like an abstract machine. It is built to 
realize some function and it, in turn, relies on a set of underlying 
capabilites that must be present for it to perform. In the case of the SOA 
RA, its purpose is to enable a system to be a Service Oriented 
Architecture. The underlying capabilities are the particular technologies 
that are used to realize the SOA; in particular technology choices such as 
Web Service technologies, implementation technologies are not part of an 
abstract RA. "

Are we not using the word capability here in a way that is different from 
the use of the term in the RM? Here we seem to be using the word capability 
to mean underlying technologies. In the RM we used the term to indicated 
the underlying functionality that is exposed through the SOA.
