indeed it would be if that's what it did. ITIL was an attempt to create
a standard vocabulary for discussing service management amongst other
things, and to describe good working practices. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITIL.

We've found it useful. I've even found it personally useful to subvert
some overly-commercial 'internal standards'.
