I'd agree somewhat with silver's comment -- and it makes a certain amount of sense that stuffing would be on the inside and dressing on the outside (as with turkeys, so with humans).
Of course, Alton Brown will tell you that unless you're willing to go through surgical-grade safety procedures, you ought not ever to stuff anything into the bird that you actually intend to eat afterwards, because it usually doesn't get hot enough to kill salmonella until the outside of the bird is way overcooked and completely dried out.
I solve this problem by stuffing turkeys with assorted aromatics, like onions and apples cut into quarters, and throw all that crap out once the bird is cooked.
