I don't know.  :)  Maybe we could use Mozilla as a model (they almost do
exactly like we do).

I guess I just don't think it's that big of a deal.  Almost every web
browser out there says "Home page" and were not running around trying to
change that.  So while it might not be the most unambiguous name, I
doubt that it will lead to much confusion.

I think familiarity should out here (unless someone thinks of an
outstanding alternative)
