Heh, do you have another suggestion?

I mean in the future we potentially have all kinds of accounts:

+ Email (accounts)
+ IM (accounts)
+ Voice (accounts)
+ Amazon (accounts)
+ .Mac  (accounts)
+ Exchange  (accounts)
etc...

I don't think we want to be talking about VoIP versus SIP. We want to say voice and then have a list of clients to choose from. (Yes I realize, voice clients also do IM and chat and whatnot. Sigh.)

Oh, I think the current proposal is to call it just Sharing. You don't actually choose between Cosmo Sharing and WebDAV per se.

Hmm, a dilemma... In the short term, I actually do need to have the user choose between "Cosmo Sharing" and "DAV Sharing" when they're setting up their accounts, as the two forms of sharing are about to become very different beasts under the hood. Perhaps we'll find the time to make it look like there is no distinction between the two types of sharing accounts, but for me to make progress on the new sharing framework I have to present them as separate account types for the time being.
