I wondered about the term too, but it appears to be very old. It can
be found with its modern definition already in "The Equatorie of the
Planetis" from 1393 [1]: "Þe argument of latitude is þe distaunce of
þe mone from þe hed of his dragoun þat is in þe ecliptik lyne."
(The "head of the dragon" is the ascending node.)

This would require that I understand the code. :) I happen to have a
copy of Dershowitz & Reingold "Calendrical Calculations" (3rd ed.).
The calculations of the lunar orbit there (on pages 193-207) are well
commented, but seem to be very different from those in lunar.el
(for example, they contain corrections for the gravitational pull of
Venus and Jupiter).
So, I'll see what I can do, but please don't expect anything soon.
