The topic has been aborded quite some time on xfce list (google should
help you on that). Brian made it clear that user (the usual, end user
one) doesn't have to mess with device (u)mounting. He shouldn't be
confused by multiple, unclear options. If both eject and umount are
proposed, what should I chose?

I agree “umount” might be helpful in some cases (mostly when there are
multiple partitions on a removable device, and you want to be able to
manage them independently) but there's no real way to manage the device
(be it a real device or a virtual one, like a crypto-container) at the
moment.
