I was talking about pure presentation, not anything that means anything to the
DL.

For example, the DL tells Peep that a certain node has an output pipe
called...

    supercalifredulisticipsialidocious

But, for the sake of making things simple for the user, Peep shows the pipe as
being named...

    2

So, the user says...

  "Do this with 2"

And Peep tells the DL...

   "Do this with supercalifredulisticipsialidocious"

Yes, the UI's can do a little bit beyond relaying messages between user and
DL, but still, 99% of what the UI's do is PRESENTATION.  (Don't ask what the
other 1% is; I just don't want to put it in absolute terms ;-))

Cheers.
