RE: [platform-ui-dev] Component framework proposal version 1.0.4 availab

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Randy's comment
that the proposed terminology isn't ideal.  "component"
and "container" are two heavily used words with lots of existing
meanings.  We have similar problems with words like "property"
and "setting" - the definitions of the words are just so general
that they can mean just about anything. There are bound to be vocabulary
"collisions" with uses of those words in other components (IContainer
for example is already used in platform core). I think Randy's suggestion
of reusing the existing words "part" and "site" would
be better. These words are already well known to have that particular meaning,
so throwing away those words in favour of new ones just creates confusion
and requires the poor plug-in writers to learn yet another new term for
an existing concept.
