It's just a name, and "folio" has the advantage of being fairly unique. The greppability that Willy mentioned is a perk, but folio also doesn't sound similar to other words when discussing them verbally. That's another advantage. If I say "pageset" in a conversation, do I mean "struct pageset" or "a random set of pages"? If I say "folio", it's much more clear to what I'm referring. We've had a lot of time to get used to "page" as a term of art. We'd get used to folio too. -- Jeff Layton
