Oracle have proposed that we remove the term "Web Bean" from the
specification. I'm therefore searching for alternative terminology.
Please let me know your opinions and suggestions.

Here's one possibility:

Web Bean -> injectable type
simple Web Bean -> injectable Java class
enterprise Web Bean -> injectable EJB

Or:

Web Bean -> contextual type
simple Web Bean -> contextual Java class
enterprise Web Bean -> contextual EJB

Note that "contextual type" already means something in the current
spec, but that thing should be easy enough to rename.
