Staying out of this discussion, generally. I'd just offer that in any context where the difference really matters, it's perhaps a good idea not to _rely_ on just the (correct) name, but to instead add text that makes things clear. E.g.: "... a directory name, with or without trailing slash" "... a directory name, with trailing slash" "... the `directory-file-name'" "... a directory file name (no trailing slash)" (And of course cross-reference the node(s) that define the terms.)
