Actually, I screwed up: It's "Signalled Applications and Infrastructure".

True, but which "Signalled Applications" are you thinking of that 
wouldn't fit into this area? Further, I can think of all sorts of 
interactive and delay intolerant things that do not belong in this 
area. *Signalled* applications (and the infrastructure to support 
them) seems *exactly to describe the things that I want grouped

I don't understand. Are you saying that protocols with "managed" 
relationships which aren't signalled do belong in this area (and that 
"signalled" in the name would muddy the waters somehow)? Could you 
give me examples?

(*Shrug*) "Interpersonal" doesn't seem to apply to some things I want 
in this area (as I think has been mentioned before.

Right.

And TDM is a "signalled application"?
