Not try to defocus the discussion at all, but from a strictly practical
point of view, I have to say that "headless" most effectively describes
the area were looking at with this profile.  I do agree it's macabre and
probably not what we want to call it, but that is how I refer to these
targets when I'm discussing them with other developers.  It's a pretty
convenient short-hand.
