Binding, as a term, is used for anything from assigning values to variables to what is essentially dependency injection of implementations of more or less abstract interfaces. I'm merely pointing out that the term is vague and can cause confusion. That you make a strong association with one use of the term doesn't really govern what others associate with it.
