Since you can send and receive both responses and queries, I prefer "initiator" and "responder" to "sender" and "receiver". I think I first saw those terms used in one of Vixie's drafts, and I liked them. "Client" and "server" have semantic overtones (e.g. relating to end users and services) and I find them less precise unless the context is very clear.
