A few thoughts ...
- I think you're right that the names should be nouns
- I don't like 'Sequence' and 'Group' (or longer versions of these),
as sequence sounds like a subset of group, which doesn't match the
type hierarchy
- I don't think we should use 'Timeline' as it seems people already
have an expectation about what this should mean (at least our current
use of DocumentTimeline doesn't require authors to create new objects
of this type)
- Is the problem with ParallelGroup and SequenceGroup simply that
they're too long?
