Hi Paul and thanks for responding

And who ever said User Stories were "first-class entities in the Requirements Domain", anyway?

Whenever we talk about creating, reading and delivering user stories we are implicitly accepting them as first-class entities in the Requirements Domain, instead of just descriptors.

I've only ever understood or used them as tools to help communicate requirements

That they are. But they are also used to communicate specifications, business goals, capabilities and technical tasks. So let's start referring to these entities instead of their associated user stories.
