If you do, then all the code written while 7 was the current release will break when 8 comes out. Agreed that the name of "[cart]" might not make the most initial/intuitive sense for the user unfamiliar with the history.. but anyway, one way or the other, I suggest that we decide now and then leave it alone so we do not have to re-write broken pages later. How about just leaving it "[cart]". Simple, short, familiar to most of us now. New users would appreciate in the docs where it would say, ".. why not call it '[cart]'?.. we had to name it something." -G
