 General:
 
-- Changed "attribute" to "option" for directives/extensions.
+* Renamed "attribute" to "option" for directives/extensions.
+
+* Renamed transform method "transform" to "apply".
+
+* Renamed "options" to "settings" for runtime settings (as set by
+  command-line options).  Sometimes "option" (singular) became
+  "settings" (plural).  Some variations below:
+
+  - document.options -> document.settings (stored in other objects as
+    well)
+  - option_spec -> settings_spec (not directives though)
+  - OptionSpec -> SettingsSpec
+  - cmdline_options -> settings_spec
+  - relative_path_options -> relative_path_settings
+  - option_default_overrides -> settings_default_overrides
+  - Publisher.set_options -> Publisher.get_settings
