I think of a node as a member of the dual basis for P in the
definition of a finite element in Brenner-Scott. A node in FFC is
always associated with an entity, like the second node of entity 0 of
an entity of dimension 1 (the second node on the first edge).

So I would very much like to keep the name "node".

See also

    http://www.fenics.org/hg/ufc?f=1e97408cde10;file=src/ufc/ufc.h

where we have

    tabulate_nodes()
    evaluate_node()

But we could discuss what to call it. Other opinions?
