We also created / popularized the term JSPUI when we introduced Manakin. We used it as term to compare and contrast the interfaces and I don't think it wasn't cemented until we moved to Maven and the maven project was called jspui. Before the move to maven and before Manakin was merged with DSpace typically the JSPUI was refereed to just as the "webui" or the web interface. However with two user interfaces that term becomes confusing.
