Stop, take a deep breath, and look at the big picture: nobody cares.

Most users don't edit. Most users who do edit won't care what the feature is
called. Nobody cares. And I think you're a pretty smart guy who already
realizes this, so I'm curious why there seems to be deliberate
smoke-throwing here.

Please, focus on the important issues and tell whoever is suggesting that
this is one of them to stop erecting pseudo-hurdles that only further delay
deployment.
