I see the name used here (physical, source, input, etc...) as purely a
core specification issue. I don't personally think it is worth a
separate paper; changing that in this paper seems fine to me as it
doesn't affect any normative behavior and doesn't require SG16 input.
If the CWG likes it, great, if not, they'll tell you to change it back
or to something else as part of their review.
