I was pretty imprecise, sorry. All I meant was that informally, people use the phrase "module system" to describe the whole of the design. As in, everything. Example: "We've been discussing lately the design of a module system on es-discuss." Confusing to overload familiar terminology, esp. when it's in the same space.

Sure, we're painting the specification bikeshed. We will need to agree on terms at least provisionally before long. But it can wait till there's content on the wiki.
