I thought that you might like to know that, after reflecting on this 
overnight, I took this matter up in a design meeting today.  After a 
"frank exchange of ideas" it was accepted that login, and all its 
related ilk, did not describe what the application was doing and was 
therefore misleading and depreciated.  The clincher was when I raised 
the issue of authentication via end user x.509 certificates.

So, what we have now are features that read like this:

When the user "myuser" authenticates with a password

When the user is not authenticated

Then they should see the authentication page

Then they should see an authentication request message

Then they press the authenticate button

When the user session is not current

We have, in consequence, gone through and removed the term login from 
all code use as well; replacing it with authenticate.  So, for example, 
the authentication form now says: To Proceed Please Authenticate 
Yourself

I am sometimes (ok, mostly) slow to understand what I am told, but I do 
hear it.  Thanks for all the help on this.  I believe that the 
discussion here regarding the entire nomenclature issue provided a real 
improvement to our design.
