You are right. The terminology is inconsistent and confusing.

Different Intel specifications use different formats: the CPU Architectural
Extensions spec uses "TDX module" (lowercase 'm'), while the Module Base
Architecture Specification uses "TDX Module" (capital 'M'). I'm not sure where
"TDX-module" comes from, and Sean's VMXON series [*] adds to the confusion by
using "TDX-Module" in log messages.

I don't have a strong preference, but I'll standardize on "TDX Module" since it
matches the Base Architecture Specification, which I think is the most
authoritative source about TDX Module features/terms.
