Just the UI. It's also the name Potlatch has also given the equivalent 
preset (for years), so it's nothing new.

Editing OpenStreetMap should be open to people without the need to read 
a manual first. Let people learn gradually at their own pace. If you 
introduce people to HOT differently that's cool, but iD as deployed on 
osm.org is a general-purpose editing tool for OpenStreetMap, of which 
HOT is just one of many uses.

Yes.
