Ontology, module terminology: once more [Re: [SCL] new draft]

Folks,
Since the ontology vs module vs theory discussion has received so much
attention
on the SCL list, I'd propose to avoid all these words in the SCL
wherever we can.
Instead, we could - at least in most cases - speak about "SCL text".
A file contains SCL text, not an ontology or a theory or a module.
SCL text may import SCL text, not an ontology or a theory or a module.
A header (brr ...) describes SCL text, etc.
"SCL text" is properly neutral and exact, without carrying unwanted
and unclear connotations as ontology, module and theory all do.
