Re: Tree View Terminology

[Gordon Meyer <gordonmeyer -at- mac -dot- com>]

Hmmm, good point. Certainly if the location is variable it can't be 
used as the key identifier. But still, unless you'll be referring to 
that area frequently, and in subsequent contexts, then I would still 
question whether or not its necessary to bestow upon it a special name.

Here's a contrived example:

Example 1:
Click the Add Album button to create a new album, then type a 
descriptive name.

Example 2:
Click the "+" button to create a new album, then type a descriptive 
name.

Suffice to say that the button has a big plus sign on it, and no text 
label. If Example 1 is used, then some poor user isn't going to know 
where the "Add Album" button is. Sure, we've given it a nice name, but 
did it really, truly need one? Probably not.
