There have been some discussions, but it seems like the answer to my original question, that is, could there be other keys than 'text and 'description' is Yes.
7.3.2, p 50 in the Archetype object model, class ARCHETYPE_TERM items - "Hash of keys (?text?, ?description? etc) and corresponding values" What I was asking for would be acheived by adding another key, e.g, 'name' . A problem is of course that the GUI-editors I've seen seem to have 'text' and 'description' as the only possible keys.
