Some terms like Relying Party are known sources of confusion. We should add a terminology section to the specification that explains particular terms.

If you have a known confusable term, please add a comment to this issue so I can pick those up, too.

OpenID uses Relying Party maybe it is a good idea to keep it and explain the term.

Sorry for the delay on this; it's taking a bit more time than I anticipated, so it ran into today.

Issue #50: Add a Terminology Section
658568b 
This is a first pass, placing the Terminology section just before
Acknowledgements.

I made a pass through, attempting to ensure the first use of a term within
a given section was always linked back to the definition.

I also made an effort to always spell out "WebAuthn Relying Party" for the first
use in each section, and remove the use of "RP" (excepting the use of "RP ID").

There are some more whitespace cleanups as well, though I tried to minimize them.
