My 2 cents:

* "subpatch" to me refers to [pd ...] aka a patch within a patch, saved within 
the same patch file that uses it (no object instantiation)

* "abstraction" to me refers to a patch saved to and loaded from it's own file 
(object instantiation)

* using "subpatches and abstractions" when referring to both is the is the best 
option, I agree that "subwindow" is problematic since there multiple types of 
things displayed in multiple windows already (ie. the audio dialog could 
conceptually be a subwindow as well...)

* my preference is for "subpatch" as opposed to "sub-patch"

* "canvas" is problematic as there are already two notions of canvas within Pd: 
the Pd patch canvas and the TK drawing canvas
