That's not fair; I would not be speaking English to my mom, so I
wouldn't use the word 'pulldown' in this context either ;) She seems to
prefer 'roltapijtje' (rolling carpet). Go figure.

When using it, you aren't really pulling it down, either. You click a
button, a list drops down. I propose <rollingcarpet/>. Should be obvious
to anyone.

Emile, who doesn't really mind pulldown.
