And the heading of the fieldset on node/add/{content type with more
than one vocabulary}. The name of the overall system simply is not
used a whole lot. This naming system applies for Drupal 4.5 through 5,
and may be changed for Drupal 6.

We have quite a few precedents for using different labels in UI from
what we use in the API or URLs:
- node is content
- path is URL alias
- watchdog is log
These differences happen and are okay. It would be nice to reconcile
everything, but changing a core module name, and breaking a chunk of
contributions, is harder than changing the UI label.
