I think dispatcher sounds like a cool name for developers. I don't think it will resonate with end users. The old "skins" was well known in what one might expect from it. The new "views" could also be understood although confusion came in on the technical side with them. This "dispatcher" tells me nothing about what exactly it does and my contention is that we've got a high enough learning curve being based on Cocoon without introducing naming complexities. I don't think we're doing much for our users by choosing such a name, but I'm only -0 on it.
