Sign me up for link, pointer, and terminus.  Motivation: a link is
what people expect, fewer suprises are better.  Pointer: I could 
be swayed on this one, but it's nicely mnemonic, a single word, and
not already used by any of the existing hypertext tribes.  Terminus:
I like this one a lot, same reasons as pointer, plus both the denotation
and connotations are good. -Tim
