Phil,

You make a good point: "CDN Peering" may be too specific to cover the scenario
you've described, unless one is generous with the definition of a CDN.

However, I think "Content Peering" is a poor term, because we're not peering
"content", we're peering entities that deliver content. (This is similar to
the forwarding-versus-routing debate that has hit the cdn mailing list today).

I'm not sure I have a third suggestion that I like more than these two, just
that I think "Content Peering" is the wrong direction to take this. For now I
would be inclined to include your scenario under the CDN framework.

Fred
