Hi all,
   I agree that the "Oracle Spatial" term is better. When you
install/enable the Spatial in Oracle Database server you select
Oracle Spatial option (or just Spatial in some versions).
   IMHO the Oracle Spatial term need to continue, the source code name
can change without problem, but the "SUPPORTS", and "--with" need to
point Oracle Spatial. And the Oracle uses the "Oracle Spatial" term.
   Best regards.
