Path is the general term to use for the nodes between two points in a 
tree (one possibly being the root). There really is no need to invent 
any new terminology here.

Trees can be decorated with differend kinds of information, such as page 
ids and the like.

Okay. I missed that one. Thanks for clarifying. I have started making 
abbreviations such as gid for uids in the fe_groups table. When it comes 
to pid I automatically thought of uids for pages.
