Comment:

 Attachment URL sounds like File URL. The fact that they are right next to
 each other only makes it even more confusing. Post URL does imply the post
 being written, not a post that is created in the secret background to
 contain the image and only the image.

 Jeremy said "If attachment is wrong then it should be changed to something
 else that isn't just 'post'." I agree with this. It won't be in 3.1, but
 it can be in 3.2. Punting discussion to UI group. Can come up with a
 number of possibilities, then toss up an online exercise or something to
 see what users interpret different labels to mean, then pick the one that
 performs best.
