------- Additional Comments from Geoffrey Garen <ggaren at apple.com>
Just to give you some background, all these "load" methods came about when we
merged the loader code, which had been sprinkled throughout WebCore and WebKit,
into a single WebCore class. The merge illuminated a spaghetti-like structure
(perhaps an image of the holy flying spaghetti monster itself?!) of similarly
named and purposed functions. At the time, we named all such functions "load"
as a way of saying, "We should probably refactor this code, removing and/or
merging redundant noodley appendages, when we get a chance."

Anyway, I think your renames improve clarity, so I'll say "r+", but an even
better solution would refactor the loader and eliminate some of these functions
altogether.
