theme_location is a poor naming convention

I have studied the nav menu concepts for several days now and one idea that is conflicting the naming conventions guide line of wordpress is theme_location. This parameter of the function wp_nav_menu in fact has no association with any page location other than what a designer might choose by naming the theme_location with the name of a page location described by the designer.

The whole code will not collapse if the theme_location is named anything other than a/any actual location. theme_location can be named by any set of descriptors. The location itself of a menu is determined by hard coding the location within the HTML; and, theme_location does nothing to benefit a dynamic layout of the page.

Again, registering a theme_location is not guaranteeing that the location will become associated with any particular part of any page. Registering theme_location only allows the menu to become selectable by the user and again has nothing to do with an actual location. I suggest that theme_location become a more conventional standard adaptation appropriate of wordpress such as menu_selected!

$theme_location
(string) (optional) The location in the theme to be used–must be registered with register_nav_menu() in order to be selectable by the user

Default: None

should read:

$menu_selected
(string) (optional) The selected menu in the theme to be used–must be registered with register_nav_menu() in order to be selectable by the user

Default: None
