While author Wayne Gramlich came up with this name
independently, the term seasteading has been used in the US since
as early as 1969. In that year it was mentioned in the Stratton
report, which led to the creation of the NOAA [Stratton1969]. There was even
a magazine briefly published on the topic in the 1970's [Clark2001].

It also fits in neatly with your fixation on not striving for actual sovereignty; the parallelism to "homestead" implies there will be control by "higher" gov't, as homesteaders in Idaho or Oregon etc were obviously not attempting in any way to escape the jurisdiction of Washington D.C...
