I think it should be kept as Web Bean. LIke you said, it sounds like a new model. It needs to be separate from an ejb bean name.

This seems quite fragmented to me, I guess I would go for something
like:

Web Bean -> injectable bean
Simple Web Bean -> injectable JavaBean
Enterprise Web Bean -> session bean
Web Bean instance -> injectable bean instance or just bean instance

This means we loose the proper noun (Web Bean) which I think is what
makes it sounds more like a new model, but to me seems more consistent
with Java terminology.
