I'm in the middle of going over the plotting docs.

I think the docs need many eyes to go over them.  I also think we need to
decide on whether or not it's worth standardizing the terminology we use
across the docs.  That means things like ds vs pf, import yt vs from
yt.mods import *.

I know I haven't brought this up, but one internal thing I'd like to at
least bring up is renaming all the internal references to "pf" objects to
be "ds".  I think this just means a global search and replace. One downside
is that it might break user scripts if people are using the internal API. I
worry about releasing 3.0 with internally inconsistent naming throughout
the codebase.
