Hi,

Right, it is different from most definitions of "framework". Basically
what it says is that a framework is a template model of something(...anything: a
spec, a design, anything...) plus information about assumptions on the
replacement of parameters, all inside a package.

Right. Nice observation. A particular subset of "frameworks", namely
document t model templates are quite similar to what is defined by HyTime.

*finally* getting to your question :), I think the term "model templates" 
could mean more to the typical XML programmer with no architectures
experience than the term "architectures" because of the much popular use of 
"architectures" as "high level structural/functional view of a system". As
for the term "Framework", IMHO the way its used on catalysis is too 
restrictive...anyway I don't think it would do as well as "model
templates" also because other meanings are more strongly rooted.

Best,
