There really should be no confusion, because MOM is not a design pattern, but
rather one implementation of an MDP, thus two distinct concepts.

OTOH, if you are implying that MDP does not really cover all aspects of a
software messaging design pattern, but instead describes a specific
sub-pattern, then yes, a more specific name would be advised.

Thanks!
