I'd say it's entirely semantic. I'm very much arguing for where to draw the definition lines in the terms we use. It won't change the code one bit (give or take a few different names on things). I definitely think understanding carefully the issues involved in delivery, and understanding the various solutions to that problem, is the way to go, not to blur the questions of delivery and handling into one atomic element. They're not atomic.

Alternatively we could come up with names for all the other combinations of delivery mechanism and handling mechanism, but since you can easily see we hit an NxM-type problem on that, this may well help elucidate why I think it's a bad idea to try to combine the two into one term. It visibly impairs people's ability to think about this topic clearly.
