Yeah, we suck at naming - news at 11! :-)

I believe we even considered things like "encrypted" vs "clear" but
that sucked too. ;-\

In any case, that ship has sailed now and having two as differently as
possible looking words to denote the two "states" should be good enough
for our purposes...

Oh well.
