the following is off the top of my head and merely a proposal:

"Platform" refers exclusively to the CLR. it encompases pnet, not pnetlib.
"Services" refers to a collection of classes (and associated protocols) 
that perform a particular task. virtual identities would be a service. 
pnetlib is a collection of services.
"Web Services" are services accessible via an HTTP based protocol.
"Framework" refers to a set of Services and a Platform. i.e. classes, 
protocols and platform. thus, pnet + pnetlib + virtual identities would 
form a framework.

in this way, the meta project is the dotGNU Framework.
