FWIW, and knowing this is not a popularity vote, as yet another non-native speaker-with a different first language-I also like "stanza" and agree with Guillem's arguments. Additionally I'd like to mention that also some software uses this term: /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Control/Stanza /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Control/Stanza.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Control/Stanza/Binary.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Control/Stanza/CommaSeparated.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Control/Stanza/Source.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Copyright/Stanza /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Copyright/Stanza.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Copyright/Stanza/Files.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Copyright/Stanza/Header.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Copyright/Stanza/License.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Copyright/Stanza/OrSeparated.pm (That's dh-make-perl and libdebian-copyright-perl. Also libparse-debcontrol-perl talks about "stanzas" in its documentation.)
