locked vs protected?

[rainbow]

Is there a preference for using "locked" or "protected" when referring to journals and entries?

I'm seeing a bit of each and ::cough:: I'm a bugger for consistency....

I always thought Locked and Protected referred to two different things - that is, "Locked" implied "General Access List" and "Protected" implied a specific Access Filter.

Whereas to me "protected" is any entry that's neither public nor private (whether filtered or not), and "locked" is...I don't know. I always think of "locked" as being related to comment threads, but I guess the terminology in use is actually "frozen".
