tbh I dont really like naming discussions, I would people would use correct terms for what things are, and I see that you are trying
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid The use of centroid here is incorrect, it sounds cool, but that has no value compared to that of associative knowledge, in other words, you are doing newbies a disservice by teaching them incorrect meanings of words, and confusing knowledgeable people :) some other words I have seen around for this concept are, root, origin, pivot But I think origin best describes the purpose best http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_%28geometry%29 hopefully you will find this clearer. 'centre' in the below description does not take into consideration the centre of mass, but is used instead of the correct term 'centroid' for clearer reading (if i have my meanings right) "ObData to Origin", "Move the object data to the object origin" "Origin to ObData", "Move the object origin to the centre of object data" "Origin to 3D Cursor", "Move the object origin to the position of the 3d cursor" And I apologise for putting my nose in when I am not a developer, I hope the detail in my email mitigates that fact.
