Well, actually, I'd like to do that, though I think there's a different 
confusion caused by having things named differently inside Linden Lab 
and outside.  Personally, I'd love us to change the name to "trunk" both 
internally and externally.  We may have an opportunity to do exactly 
that as the result of a code shuffling exercise that Sardonyx is working 
on now.  If none of the other Lindens chime in here, I'll ping some 
folks at Linden Lab.

p.s. there's an office hour starting now dealing with documentation:

We've been talking about documentation on the wiki, and I'm thinking of 
crashing the meeting.
