Generally, I find your comments about mathematical terminology too
categorical.  As you know, many times several different terms are used
to describe the same object, and, on the other side, one term is often
used to describe objects in different areas.

I don't view Wikipedia as the last word on anything, but the Wikipedia
page for "interval" talks about multi-dimensional intervals with the
same connotation that I use; this section was added in 2008 by Jorge
Stolfi, so it's survived for a while.

I don't object to your suggestion to use the term $d$-interval in the
document to characterize the objects, but I'd probably use simply
"interval-" as the prefix to the operations on them.
