A rule of thumb: typically when people speak of an @x node, it implies that the headline starts with @x. Otherwise, if a node contains an @x directive in the body pane, people will say something like, "a node containing an @x directive".

A *very* important distinction! And one I struggled with when I first started with Leo, FWIW. I do think that the docs/tutorials/cheetsheet/quickstart should mention a difference between *directives*, which go in bodies, and *nodetypes*, which go in headlines. Things like @url mess with this, though, as they act as a bit of both. Actually, @url is the strangest case... it's a nodetype AND a directive, but it's only a directive in the absolute first line of the body, complicating matters more!

Just my $0.02.
