It seems to me like the right rail as I've seen it so far contains *metadata*, 
as contrasted with the older (left-hand in LTR) "sidebar", which seems more 
focused on *navigation*. "Metadata rail" isn't perfect, but it seems close 
enough based on what I understand it to contain so far: languages, interproject 
links, infoboxes, subject navboxes … stuff that's mostly not article content 
directly, but much closer to article content than the boilerplate navigation 
we'd expect in the sidebar.
