UML14 — Terminology: Collaboration and Collaboration Template

suggest to stick with one consistent terminology and avoid imprecise variations and synonyms.

2.1 Collaboration should be a shortcut for Collaboration Specification. Frequently, however, it also means Collaboration Instance. Here, I suggest to drop the rather awkward "collaboration (diagram) on a specification level" and make it collaboration specification, etc.

2.2 IMO, it should be collaboration template rather than template collaboration or parameterized collaboration. First of all, a template collaboration is a collaboration, not a template, so this is confusing. Also, should UML 2.0 solve the template problem in ModelElement, it will be the natural thing anyway.
