I just had a look at the latest ratified version of the TWAIN standard, and the structures are only specified for Windows and Macintosh. So while some people might call something else TWAIN, it's always possible the TWAIN group will later ratify a different structure.
Unless there's been some agreement with the TWAIN group, it's misleading to call anything that isn't part of the ratified standard 'TWAIN'.
