Ken, I'm an old timer Director user as well. I don't think I've ever 
seen a comparison quite the way you described it. Frames are like cards, 
etc.  ;-)

 From my point of view, I've grown to simply accept the metaphor of each 
environment as its own thing, but I guess I can see where a diehard 
x-talker might want to create some form of cross-reference metaphor.

The score is like a stack... huh. I suppose it is, in fact. Just never 
thought of it that way.  ;-)  I guess I've always been an animator at 
heart anyway. Personally, I had a a harder time with Rev at first - 
partially because it wasn't driven by a timeline.

Everybody comes at this type of work from a different angle, I guess.
