Where: 2 3) (page 9, para 3)
Comment:
 The term “implementation” in a spec such as this normally means a particular
software incarnation; for a protocol spec. “implementation” is typically a unit
of interoperability. Thus an implementation of a StockQuote web service (for
example) would normally refer to just the service. But the term “implementation
of a Coordination Service” here seems to mean a protocol definition that builds
on the coordination framework, and which will itself need to be implemented in
software (of Participants, at least)

The term “Coordination Service” itself is sometimes used to mean the general
pattern (c.f “interface”) and sometimes a particular (c.f. object implementing
an interface), through out the document.

Suggestion:
The term "referencing specification" can be re-used from ws-context, now
referring to a specification that builds on WS-CF but is not the entire
application protocol.

There are other uses of “implementation” in this sense. These should be checked.

Some of the more confusing cases have been identified in subsequent issues.
