I get the feeling that the naming discussion has converged to:

	"breakpoint" and "location"

where a breakpoint has 1:N locations, and multiple breakpoints can share 
common locations.

Unlike the "user" vs "machine" I don't see us having much difficulty 
explaining "breakpoint" and "location" to either users or developers.  Ya!

enjoy,
Andrew
