"System" and "App" seem to me much better names than "global" and "local".

but somehow i do not feel very comfortable with "App" name.  IMHO the 
set of components using "local" config does not match exactly the 
concept of "application" as i understand it (in general sense).

may it be that the word "Root" reflects the function of "local" config 
better than the word "application"?

i would suggest words "Service" or "Utility", but those are conflicting 
with the SEF pattern terms...

please do not take this comment too seriously: i am not english speaker, 
and i do not pretend that my understanding of english words is the right 
one.

best wishes,
