...if I may, why "housing" and not "dock"...? I know I've been kind of half-heartedly pushing "dock" for a while now... but it's a shoe that fits, you know?
"dock" (or "docking station") is already in public use, as is "lapdock". as in "docking station" for a laptop (which used to be common up until 10 years ago) and "motorola atrix lapdock".
...that sounds like a plus, to me...
I think Luke's point is that an EOMA68 computing card (optionally) plugs into a housing, which could then in turn (optionally) plug into a dock.
So, it is useful to have the three different terms, and for them to have distinct meanings, as above.
