I'd rather rock the boat a bit.  ;-)

I found the discussion of "architecture mechanisms" a bit abstract.  I
frankly can't recall anyone using the term "mechanisms" in practice,
although to describe the things that Sigurd has discussed "architectural
concerns" or less frequently "architectural issues".

If we want OpenUP to be attractive to developers then we need to use terms
which people are familiar with, IMHO.
