To translate an expression, "you have touched the point with a needle."

I would like to emphasize one more time, by the way, that this effort
isn't starting out with any prejudices for or against any particular
models. I personally have a predjudice against "kludging in" stuff
like distinguished names into the conventional internet naming system
in order to shoehorn a standard intended for another environment in,
and am not averse to arguing against such things, but thats different.
