Actually, it's confusing to use "application" to refer to an
"implementation" and, even more so, just to client implementations.

Here is, I think, a good example of an appropriate use of the
term application (in the context of LDAP specifications):
    PKI is an application of the directory which places
    specific requirements upon clients and servers implementations.
