I suggest that there's nothing wrong with 'framework' as a description
of a plan for a bureaucratic structure. The problem is in the verb.
I believe the term 'framework' will survive as a description of an
organised collection of concepts or as a plan for a bureaucratic
structure. I don't believe that the language will embrace the
'implementation' of frameworks - we will continue to test them, examine
them, compare them, and build on them.
I think that the use of 'implement' in the context of your example
probably fits Don Watson's description of weasel words. (Incidentally,
Don Watson did not invent the term 'weasel words'. It's been around for
ages, and I think Zinsser used it.)
