Did 1.2's "Content" really only contain "Documents"?  I guess I
consider "Content" a more general, inclusive term than you do, so to
me it fits the need very well.  Lenya is a "content management system"
after all, not a "resource management system".

"Item" is used by other systems for a piece of data (a

Agreed, so I wouldn't propose the use of the word "item" without
context, but only as part of the phrase "content item".
