    initial v1  
    22* It introduces the concept to the "user" of separating a "profile" from their "account"
    33* I'm not sure if we have a language guide that outlines (or even mentions) the word "account" vs "profile"
    4 * I vaguely recall a conversation with jenmylo years ago where "Profile" won over "Account" for the top level menu item text, but IMO the vagueness of "New Password" being under "About Yourself" is unrelated to introducing a new heading to separate the functionality out.
     4* I vaguely recall a conversation with jenmylo years ago where "Profile" won over "Account" for the top level menu item text, but IMO the vagueness of "New Password" being under "About Yourself" is unrelated to introducing a new heading to that, and separating the functionality out here is better than what we have currently.

    66For what it's worth, in BuddyPress, we are just now in the process of defining the terms: user, member, profile, & account. Technically, they're all different things pertaining to the same central object, and, again IMO, passwords and sessions pertain to the "account" where as a "profile" is how the user of the account describes themselves. Phew!
