Style(s) tab
Trivial, but hey, why not pur-fect…
Could we pluralize the Style tab label to Styles, which would be consistent with the other tabs (you can have more than one stylesheet, afterall), and is indeed the accurate contraction (conceptually speaking) of “Cascading Style Sheets.”
Ed. You know, even more intuitive would be CSS, but I’d take Styles. ;)

Re: Style(s) tab
I would cast my vote on CSS… Takes less screen space:)

I second this motion.
“CSS” is only intuitive for people who know what CSS stands for or understand what CSS does.
I’m curious if non-English versions use the plural.

Every non-english version i have looked, uses directly translated “Styles” word that sometimes sounds little odd. Even the multi-meaningful word “Forms” is usually directly translated, and therefor in example in Finnish, it uses word that is usually used in a context “Please fill this form”. Sounds stupid, but well, I haven’t either come up with anything better for that.
But CSS would be pretty awesome handsomly good alternative for “Styles”. It doesn’t even need to be translated, as it is name of coding language.

The Dutch version already uses ‘CSS’ ;)
BTW I’d vote for ‘CSS’, after all it is CSS, isn’t it?

Yes, but those with access to the Presentation tab will know that.
So I’d vote for “CSS”, too.

Re: Style(s) tab
I would agree with “CSS” as well. “Style(s)” is not really accurate and if people don’t know what CSS means then they shouldn’t be looking at it let alone messing.

Yes, CSS makes sense, allows less room for confusion.

Re: Style(s) tab
Although this opens a can of worms…
Shouldn’t Pages then be renamed to Templates ?

Re: Style(s) tab
For “Forms”, the spanish translation (“Formularios”) is totally misleading, because “formulario” means form but in the sense of a web form (ie. a contact form).
