It isn't watered-down at all! The reason we have that section is to
clarify what an implementation of the information-model actually is (a
schema) and what it means to be compliant with the information model.

The RFC2919 terms mean what they always mean - just in a non-typical
context (i.e not just viz an bits-on-the-wire implementation)
