We briefly talked about this at NEKLS: we agree with Galen that Charges defines something else (at least in US libraryland), and that "fines and fees" would be clearer for our libraries.

But, we can always just change it with jquery if we don't like what you do. ;)

I like Fines/Fees more than Charges, for what it's worth.  It seems clearer to me.

No personal objection from me, but a few libraries and systems
understand the word 'charges' to mean 'checkouts'.  How about renaming
it to 'Fees' or 'Fines and fees'?
