true. I was going to suggest that, too.

Well, keep in mind that JSS is fairly R-centric. And in a way we really are
talking about the technical term data.frame, as that *is* the type of data
that the data editor operates on. I think introducing an abbreviation for this
will add rather than avoid confusion in this context.
However, definitely, where we use R terms, we should mark them up as
\code{data.frame}. And perhaps we should add a very short explanation like
"The standard data type used to present a table of data in R") on the first
occurence in the usage chapter.
