Hi Don

Let's start by addressing the issue of definitins. 

I cannot find any definitions. Semantically, you stand on 
a platform and work within a framework. But I don't think that get's
us very far.

Empirically, from looking across the Eclipse site, the terms seem 
somewhat interchangeable, and seem to mean whatever the project 
wants them to mean.

I will respond do the substance of your comment in a different message.
For now, I'll just say that I don't think the definitions are going
to be useful to us going forward in deciding what the scope of "the
framework" is going to be
