That may be... but then they could be something different.
Binary Space Partitioning refers to breaking the geometry down into
isolated convex spaces by continually splitting the spaces that are
left... generally along existing surfaces (why would you not, after
all?). I suppose one might call the splits "binary separating planes"
but the tree has always been a "binary space partitioning" tree. The
tree is partitioning space, after all.
At least as far back as Doom engine hacking... which would have been
back in 1994 or so. And Foley and van Dam's Computer Graphics:
Principles and Practice for that matter which is the graphics bible and
much older.

Don't believe every thing in Wikies :) ( there quite often misleading)
I'll stick with Binary Separating Planes, this is what I grow up with the
last 15 or more years,
this I know to be fact :) apart from the haze that beer has left now and
then over that time
When they were first introduced back in MultiGen as Binary Separating Planes
and are still called Binary Separating Planes in Multigen-Creator :) and
Files loaders that support them
