[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-280) clarify usage of 'bean' term usage in the spec

[Martin Andersson (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13072860#comment-13072860 ] 

Martin Andersson commented on CDI-280:
--------------------------------------

bq. The proxy for a Contextual Instance should be referred to as 'Contextual Reference'

Or why not just call the proxy a proxy? If the origin of the proxy is not clear, call it a CDI proxy. In either way, I find that "contextual reference" is confusing.
