See the discussion at emacs-devel@gnu.org with the same Subject line.
It was suggested that I also file a bug for this:

So this is that bug report.
Please rename these options from using `mini-' to something that
indicates what they act on. Suggestions:
* Rename `resize-mini-windows' to `minibuffer-echo-area-resize'.
* Rename `max-mini-window-height' to
`minibuffer-echo-area-max-height'.
Please also change the doc strings to not mention `mini-windows',
which are not defined, in any case. Make it clear that these act on
the minibuffer and echo area.
In GNU Emacs 23.0.93.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-05-02 on SOFT-MJASON
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4)'

Renaming these would create too much churn for too little benefit.

I've now clarified this.

1. What churn? Only a few source-code lines to change and 2 aliases to create.
User clarity going forward.
2. Read the subject line. You did not fix this bug, so do not classify it as
"fixed". Classify it as "won't fix", if that is the Emacs Dev decision.
