Is Transcript's English orientation a plus or minus?

I like xObject as a name. Sort of an 'xTalk' based upon object models
for RAD.
I only think of stack, card and controls as objects anyway. I don't
even 'get' the metaphor anymore. Of course, I don't 'get' the stage,
players either. I mean deep in my mind when I am planning a new project
I don't see stacks and cards or stages and players. I see windows with
elements that need to be there or need to change and what do I need
them to 'do'.
rambling...
