That definitely is what I've always meant by MVC.  I haven't found a 
better fit for describing that to people.  If I just say "separation of 
concerns" people stare blankly and want a more concrete pattern to 
follow.  I could say something like "command classes + data objects + 
templates", but it doesn't have the same ring or historical proof behind it.

Of course some people use MVC to abstract different types of inputs as 
well (web browser vs. cell phone vs. cron job), but that's not common.

Is there a better way to describe this sort of thing without the baggage 
of arguing about what a controller is, etc.?
