I also find Layers much better then Legend, so +1

CJQF> Hi list,

CJQF> I am wondering what the policy is on naming conventions in terms of 
CJQF> tools, the QGIS interface, and map items. For example:
CJQF> I suggest that the text 'Legend' above the layer list should be changed
CJQF> to 'Layers'. Technically this isn't a legend: "A map legend can be 
CJQF> defined as the reference area on a map that lists and explains the 
CJQF> colours, symbols, line patterns, shadings, and annotation used on the 
CJQF> map." The legend of course, it what we add to the map in the map 
CJQF> composer, but what we are currently calling the legend is, in actual 
CJQF> fact, simply a list of layers .

CJQF> I know this is really just a matter of semantics, but it has been 
CJQF> mentioned before, and I think it's important to get these things right ;-)
