Micah,
Thus, my proposal is that "X-let" be taken to mean "a small portable program
written to the X API".
What happens when a server, a proxy, and a call-out server all
implement the same API (just think of CGI)? What would you call the
piece of code that can run without modifications on all three
platforms/APIs?
When it runs on the server, it's a servlet. When it runs on the proxy,
it's a proxylet, etc. But what would we call the actual code,
independent from where it will be executed? A suggetion was "service
plug-in"...
