Do you really think the semantics should be so specific? I had assumed that Java semantics evolved from the fact that libraries were released and distributed as 'packages'.To add another dimension to the discussion, the word "package" in the field of software can also mean a package of software for distribution, such as an RPM package. Authors who deal with packaging software but not APIs will perhaps misuse a <package> element.
Perhaps, but as far as I can tell, a Java 'package' has nothing to do with OO - it's just coincidence that Java happens to be an OO language.The advantage of the oo* names is that they are specific to their subfield.
