Well, the idea was that we wanted to use that for sections and captions, where short title made perfect sense. Optional argument only makes sense if one understands the underlying LaTeX code.
I agree with Paul to stick to latex denomination more closely. More generally, I personally think Lyx's main strength is as a Latex frontend as opposed to the aim of being a document preparation system for people without any latex knowledge at all. So as a general principle I think it would help the lyx users if latex and lyx speak the same language as much as possible.
Of course this is just IMHO and also biased given that I came to Lyx from latex, but just think about all the advices involving ERT. It seems to me that serious use of Lyx very often involves having to learn/understand at least the latex basics.
Please don't get me wrong, surely I am in no position to demand anything; it's just the direction I would like to see for the evolution of lyx.
Thanks for the continuing effort, Sven
