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.
