Call it whatever you want Steve.
FSS does not ISSUE clearances. They don't give CRAFT assignments. Yes,
they may relay clearances, but they don't issue them.
Nobody said otherwise.
Please see http://www.faa.gov/ATpubs/ATC/Chp4/atc0402.html 4-2-2 b where
it clearly states ATC clears.
No need, I'm completely familiar with FSS's role.
