Well all the marketing I have seen talks about the app servers being part of
the 'Enterprise Grid'. Looks like the name change for 9.0.4 (or 5 ) App
Server came too late for the docs guys to put some flannel in about Grid.
I'd seriously expect given the marketing campaign for the grid as a way to
sell all of Oracle products - not just the DB but iAS and collapse suite as
well that the term would at least feature in a product with that name.
