    Node –
    o Recommend a different, more distinct, name for this element.
    o Our system models typically have dozens if not hundreds of profiles applied to them and Node is a very common term between them.
    o This leads to confusion and, in some cases, errors even when the full element name may be different.
    o All the elements in this package have generic and easily conflicting names but node is the most egregious.
    o I think going with the suggested “Processing Element” would have been better in this case.

    NM: Note, that ProcessingElement is used as an application trait in Traits package together with Controller, Transducer, Sensor, Actuator. However since Node is an abstract element in SPECTRA, it should not cause any issues and should not be difficult to rename.
