Comment(by strider72):

 Replying to [comment:92 jeremyclarke]:
 > A 'post' (in the old sense) is a post (new sense) with a post_type of
 'post', which on some level equates with being a post with post_type
 DEFAULT.

 To quote The Man in Black: "Truly you have a dizzying intellect." ;-)
 (I'm reminded also of "known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown
 unknowns....")

 That idea as expounded by Jeremy says to me that it is important to use
 some completely different term, and "post" will be one type of it, "page"
 another, and so forth.

 Having ready through all of the above, I think the best suggestion
 (surprisingly unnoted) is "record".  It's comprehensible, pretty generic,
 and best of all, not yet generally used in the WordPress universe.
