Trust me to speak up on the least important issues...

What about mask/view, or maskview?  People can abbreviate how they like,
and it's actually not a bad metaphor -- think of the "view" you get
through a "mask", such as a Halloween mask.  The eye holes aren't
terribly big, so you see a much smaller part of the world.
