What's the Preferred Term - 6/28/2011

Recap from last post: We had a response for both the terms from Burks who suggested "lateral ocellus" and "frontal depression" for the corresponding classes HAO:0000481 and HAO:0000911 respectively. Unless there is consensus against it, we will make the according changes.
