<h2>Component Areas for Platform UI</h2>
Platform UI is divided into the following functional areas. The tags in
square brackets are used in bug report subject headings to indicate the
affected area. The current owner of each functional area is indicated in
parentheses. The queries here may not represent all bugs in a given
component area if there are any that havn't been properly tagged.
