As I said it is probably a cultural question. I won't name the information on my national ID card 'content' (rather property or attribute), but I would name the frontpage of the local news paper 'content'. But I am foreign to English. Just note that others might have similar perceptions about the word 'content'. I am not against using this word, nor do I have something better to suggest, so I am not really bringing the discussion further myself... I just would not call the group of properties in my user profile 'content'...
This term is probably defined differently for publishing purposes than I have defined it. Regardless of what the word means to any individual, I think it is important to agree on the definition of this term (and others) *for our purposes* before using it. There is probably already an unspoken understanding of the definition which is undocumented so maybe we should document what constitutes a node and what constitutes content.
