Can we stop speculating on why MSFT did or didn't do X? Why is that
relevant here? If you must know, Tab is correct. By the time the final
naming settled it was not optimal for us to have dev/test engineers work
on renaming a bunch of working features across our code as well as all 
the apps (built-in and in the store) that already depended on a syntax 
described in a draft from three months earlier.
