[Bf-taskforce25] Mockup note

[William Reynish]

The inconsistencies in the mockups are not deliberate!

Regarding labels, I agree it should be as automated as possible.  
Problem is that many items will likely have their names truncated in  
the Properties, for example

Location X
Location Y
Location Z

in the RNA become

Location:
X
Y
Z

In the Properties.

I don't really know how to handle this. Also for things like:

Show:
Wireframe
Boundbox
TexSpace

etc
