Concepts like document, folder, button, scroll-bar etc don't necessarily mean anything to musician, mathematician pilot or a kid, but they all use a computer. People naturally understand language, handling language abstractions is the easiest for us all. I understand there was a need for paper and dashboards as communication means before the invention of the internet, but we should slowly forget about that.

No modern interface tries to emulate paper or dashboard any more.

A document can perfectly describe a music composition on which different services can act to actually perform the playing or add effects.

And I see no purpose in calling a MIDI, game binary, registry, mp3, script, database or any other STATE other than document a document.
