I dunno... I think the terminology stuff is pretty tough to decide on. In the SVG world, filter is a reserved term. Effects in graphics apps do typically tend to be a little more dynamic so that if you change original shapes it will update the effect. Perhaps script is the most appropriate even though it will be confusing to non-technical users. I dunno... just my .02 =/
And, we're already using the word "scripts" to describe something different. There is the functionality and the implementation:
Function Implementation ---------- ----------------
Input Script Output Internal Print Plug-in Effect
Any of those can be matched with the other. So, most of the stuff that Aaron has written are extensions that implement an effect with a script.
I think the real problem is that we're running out of words, so we should make up a new one. I'm voting "Equodes" -- we can tell people that it is a word in Esperanto, no one speaks it to tell them differently. :)
