The problem I see with changing "root" to "background" is that root isn't the name of a layer like background is. It indicates that its elements are not grouped under any of the layers. In fact, elements under root can be both in front of and behind an element on Layer 1, or any other layer. In English, at least, root seems like the appropriate term, while background could be misleading.

Ok. I was wondering about that. I have, however, seen stuff in OpenGL called "background," when what they mean is the ambient stuff in the scene tree. Like a signpost might be in the background, but a car might be later in the tree, even though it is physically behind it. Maybe "Base" is a compromise, which can mean both things?
