Enough of this.  Here is the definition of homophony from the Harvard
Dictionary of Music:

   Homophony: Music in which the melodic interest is concentrated in
   one voice or part that is provided with a subordinate accompaniment,
   as distinct from Polyphony in which melodic interest  is distributed
   among all parts of a musical texture. The term MAY REFER to a variety
   of melody-plus-accompaniment textures AS WELL AS TO texture, termed
   HOMORHYTHMIC, in which all parts move with the same or similar rhythm.

Sorry to disappoint you Robert, but I will takethe word of Mr. Randel, the
author of the most difinitive music dictionary in print and accept the fact
that homorhythm is indeed homophony.
