Bug Description

We use the term "application endpoint" in two (mutually incompatible) senses in our documentation.

It's generally used to mean the relation name, e.g. from https://discourse.juju.is/t/cross-model-relations/1150:

> juju add-relation <application>[:<application endpoint>] <offer url>[:<offer endpoint>]

But our https://discourse.juju.is/t/command-add-relation/1674

> Application endpoints can be identified either by:
> <application name>[:<relation name>]
> where application name supplied without relation will be internally expanded to be well-formed
> or
> <model name>.<application name>[:<relation name>]
> where the application is hosted in another model owned by the current user, in the same controller
> or
> <user name>/<model name>.<application name>[:<relation name>]
> where user/model is another model in the same controller
