it is Persons , POB, you've watch too much "Titanic
The problem with using "Souls On Board" isn't so much the ICAO-standards issue, but rather because it's not out of the realm of possiblity to have a passenger by the name of Gunnery Sgt .... USMC aboard and erroneously include him in the count. I know for a fact he wasn't issued a soul, and why would he be? The Corps built The Antichrist for the purpose of collecting those of others, like ours, and didn't require one himself in order to function.
Then there's the dog-soul issue if any happen to be in the hold. Some people get real funny about it.
