[MKDoc-dev] Where is the line between flo::editor::* and flo::plugin::*?

Hello all.  I'm working on the Events component and I've run into a
puzzle that doesn't seem to be yeilding to my analysis.  Put simply,
what is the difference between flo::editor modules and flo::plugin
modules?

My first guess was that flo::editor modules dealt with admins editing
the site and flo::plugin modules are for endering data to show to
clients.  That doesn't seem to be the case.  In fact, the closer I
look the more overlap I see between the two.

For example, to implement events I need to change the way headlines
are rendered.  The most obvious place this happens is in
flo::editor::Headlines::personalized_headlines() and
flo::editor::Headlines::default_headlines().  However, I see some code
in flo::plugin::Headlines::items() which also appears to be building a
list of documents for display.

If need be I think I can answer this particular query empirically
using a debugger, but I'd like to get a more general answer if
possible.

PS: Does anyone know what "flo" stands for or means?
