The discussion revolves around the terminology used in BIP360, specifically the use of "tap" within names such as "TapLeaf" and "TapBranch." Despite some reservations about the appropriateness of this naming convention given that it does not directly relate to the concept of "taproot," the argument for retaining "tap" in the name is supported by its usage within the BIP360 itself. This suggests a level of consistency with the existing naming conventions. However, there is a preference expressed for the term "Pay-to-Script-Tree," which is seen as a more accurate description of the functionality being referred to. This debate highlights the importance of precise terminology in technical documentation and development, emphasizing how names can influence the understanding and perception of technology components.
