Hi All,

Currently in orchestra there are two types of conversation scope: "manual" and 
"flash". With "manual", a conversation must be explicitly ended via either a 
call to the Orchestra API, or use of a jsf tag. With "flash", the conversation 
is automatically ended when a request cycle ends and no object in the 
conversation was accessed.

Some people have noted that other libraries use the term "flash scope" for a 
somewhat different purpose. I therefore propose changing the name to "access 
scope".

This change will mean renaming about 6 classes, updating the examples and 
updating the website documentation.

I intend to keep backwards compatibility with 1.0 to the level where normal 
Spring configuration files still work unaltered (and will test this by making 
sure the existing orchestra examples work unaltered, before I update them to 
show the "new" config).

However for classes which would only be used by people deriving their own 
custom scope-managers, etc., I don't currently plan to keep full binary 
compatibility.

Are there any objections?

Regards,
Simon
