[drupal-docs] Difference between a "story" and a "page"

To tell you the truth this all seems pretty arbitrary and confusing.  
The reality seems to be that from a technical point of view story and 
page are the same thing.  The diff between blog and forum post is that 
each of these types have some "wrapping" (they are really just posts 
that some other code in blog and forum treat differently)  that makes it 
behave a certain way within a particular context.  Book pages are 
somewhat of a different story.  While I understand the "best practices" 
stuff I think that all of this leads to quite a lot of confusion.  I 
will attempt to make a pass at some constructive suggestions very soon.
