The term is quite plan and simple.<

Sorry Jim, but I think Steve has a point. If we are using datacom acronyms (like QoS) on a datacom thread, we have to expect that the reader will attach the meaning from the datcom world, not what a lay-person might interpret the same phrase to mean. QoS specifically comes from ATM and describes the performance parameters of a virtual circuit (independent of the physical layer). I could see extending the meaning to include non-ATM-centric approaches to doing the same thing (like RSVP or class-based queing), or to doing related things like traffic shaping or policy servers, but not to physical-layer stuff.
