I did not say anything about the frame's minibuffer window. And yes, the minibuffer window is a window. 1. I said that the _echo area_ is not an Emacs window. 2. And that there is currently no such animal called a "mini-window" or a "mini window". 3. And that using `mini-' in the names of these particular options makes it more difficult for users to find them. Point #3 is the real point I raised (see Subject line). Do you dispute that point?
