I'm a bit uncomfortable with the term "citizen".  The term has two 
disadvantages, from my perspective.

First, it's not the term most people are familiar with.  Most people 
would find the term "user" to be a much more familiar name for that 
party in the process.

Second, "citizen" implies, to me, some sort of intelligence behind the 
request.  If an automated system is using YADIS to look up services, 
calling it a citizen just seems inappropriate.  It's just something 
using the system...  Something I'd like to call a "user."
