Dan, Drupal's web interface does not expose the user to the word 
'node'.  It uses the word 'post'.  If you find an occurrence of the 
word 'node' in the output Drupal generates, that would be a minor bug.  
Similarly, user-oriented documentation should use the word 'post' 
rather than 'node'.

(Could the one maintaining the documentation writing guide, add that to 
the guide?  I keep forgetting the guide's URL.)
