I still like region better. The downside of "column" is that we'd never 
be able to happily and semantically do "wide" columns, like a header or 
footer (what the hell is a "header column"?). Likewise, it's difficult 
to imagine a column within a column, or a sidebar within a sidebar, but 
quite easy to imagine a region within a region. "Sidebar" may be less 
confusing in the short run, but naming parts of Drupal solely per the 
paradigm (ie. renaming "taxonomy" "categories", which still bums me out) 
is bad. Remember: the greatest honor of a paradigm is to be broken.
