I'm always amused to hear web types speak of grinding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript down to somewhat simpler HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as "rendering". Rendering, to graphics people, is when you make pixels.



It's consistent with the use of 'render' or 'paint' to describe what a UI component does to, well, render itself. For most UI systems this has involved higher level APIs than directly pushing pixels for a long time.
