Bob,
You may find another bigger problem with "message" with the EDI folks. While
X12 calls their documents 'transactions', all EDIFACT documents are formally
called 'messages'. 
I'm not sure how you could easily keep a natural desitinction between
process-based approaches and document-based ? It's not a perfect world but
maybe you have to consider using the word 'signal' some more to help
distinguish the extra nature involved with process-based approaches.
