Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] Naming of left/right columns - WAS: Changes in module templates

[Gary Cunningham-L. <ga...@cu...>]

The label isn't for the visual layout, but the information content, 
particularly for people using screenreaders or text browsers. In that 
sense, "marginal information" is a tempting choice for the play on words 
if for no other reason, but some people might think more highly of their 
site content than that. ;-)
