if you want a meaningful answer, i'd be happy to provide one off-list or on 
irc. 

i don't think it matters overly much if Every Last Person On Earth uses the 
"right" terminology in every case (though the closer we get to that, the 
easier it becomes), and i really don't want this thread to get sidetracked 
into a discussion about promo when the topic is supposed to be usability of 
our software being affected by jargon. note that "Compositing" is not a brand 
but jargon; it just happens that sometimes there is an overlap between using 
what is a (technical) brand name and jargon appearing in our UI.  :)
