I think there have been already too many "OSD" acronyms -- especially,
for the Open *Source* Definition.  Isn't it a good idea to change the
name/URL before it become too popular, to avoid confusion in the
future?

Unfortunately, I don't come up with any good candidates -- possibly,
OSSD(means the Open SaaS Definition)?  I know it sounds rather bad
and/or stupid ;-)

Best regards,
MH
