Re: Collapsible Braedcrumb Pattern

Yes, Isabel. Actually, that was one of things our UX designer encountered
when he was doing some quick guerrilla usability testing of the pattern
with folks. He found that 50% of users know what a path is; 30% knew what
breadcrumbs were (complete overlap with path); and 50% knew neither term.
So, from that brief check, path seems like a better way to describe it.
However, I think "Expand/collapse breadcrumb path" may be best. At the
cost of a little extra verbosity, that should let speech recognition users
activate the control by saying "click expand", "click collapse", "click
breadcrumb", "click path", or "click breadcrumb path". I think; I still
need to confirm that would work as described.
