Gregor may know the history of "Scrap"; that term has been there ever since I started using LyX/Sweave, and I never know how it came in.
It is the name used for noweb support, but I cannot see any reference to this term in the noweb docs. This is why I am surprised.
Noweb is only one of the implementations of literate programming (to beat Knuth's WEB), so I guess "literate" may actually be a better name.
Sure, but the literate format uses this particular noweb tool. So the generic name will be a problem if we decide to implement nuweb support or even real WEB.
