Jeff,

XMLUI is the technical name for the software code, while Manakin is  
the name of the interface for a particular set of versions. When we  
developed Manakin we didn't want a name that people could grasp and  
use to identify it, unlike the XMLUI which is more a technical  
description than a name. We had anticipated that in the future another  
major release of the interface could be under another name; something  
similar to how "Snow Leopard" is the marketing name for "Mac OS X  
10.5", "Manakin" in the marketing name for "XMLUI 1.x"

In my opinion only programmers should use the XMLUI name, everything  
else should be Manakin. However if this logic were followed  
consistently then the war should probably be called manakin.war  
instead of xmlui.war. It's not a huge deal either way, but I don't  
think the documentation can drop either term completely as some may  
only know "it" by only one of the names and not understand the  
correlation.
