Suggestion: rename TerminateActivities to Suggestion: rename TerminateActivities to CancelActivities

I think that the TerminateActivities's name at the BES-Factory port-type is not good because the response content this:

<TerminateActivityResponse>
<ActivityIdentifier>EPR</ActivityIdentifier>
<Cancelled> xsd:Boolean </Cancelled> ?
|
<SOAP-1.1:fault> ... </SOAP-1.1:fault> ?
</TerminateActivityResponse> *


IMPORTANT part: <Cancelled> xsd:Boolean </Cancelled>

When we stop an activity then we will STOP it not kill. I think that the semantic is very important.

Re: Suggestion: rename TerminateActivities toSuggestion: rename TerminateActivities to CancelActivities

The TerminateActivities operation attempts to move the activity into the Terminated state and is therefore correctly 
named. Although the operation can succeed by sending a Terminate 'signal' to the activity - the true success of the 
operation (i.e. of moving the activity into the terminated state) can only be determined by querying the state of the 
activity within the container.

The Cancelled element in the response has been renamed to Terminate to eliminate any confusion.

Thank you for your comments.
