NEW ISSUE: Correct C++ Terminology
Target: C++ Client and Implementation
Specification 

Description:  The current specification. has numerous occurrences
of "method"  which
is not correct C++ terminology. Most of these are in prose and can be easily
changed to either "member function" or "operation"
based on context (i.e. specific to C++ or referring to a service operation).
 However, we also have method
and callbackMethod child elements in interface.cpp and a method child element
in implementation.cpp (the method child elements both appeared in the 1.0
schema).

Proposal:

1) Replace "method" in the
prose with either "member function" or "operation"
as appropriate for the context..

2) Rename the method child elements
to function (memberFunction seems cumbersome here).  This is a significant
change and needs to be noted in the migration appendix.  We should
allow an implementation to support both method and function child elements.

3) Rename the callbackMethod child element
to callbadkFunction.  This child element was not in the 1.0 schema
so this is a less significant change.
