"Is there additional insight into what "aspects" are, though? It confuses me - will it confuse an ordinary user?"
This is a pet peeve of mine, using extremely generic words to describe an important part of what you are working on. "Object Oriented Programming" got away with it, but that is aimed squarely at developers. I don't think you want words like "aspect" in front of actual users.
I've noticed this a lot in academic research, also. I lost track of how many different ways I saw the word "feature" overloaded in different fields.
