You’re welcome.  =)

I don’t think anybody argues that point.

One of the reasons I’m developing the B&R stylesheet is that it is the most 
complete and logical *organization* of chords that I've ever found. (The actual 
*naming*, on the other hand… well…)

Once the file is complete — including all programming (Scheme functions, etc.) 
necessary to make the B&R stylesheet work as intended — and it passes some 
vetting/consensus process in the Lilypond community, I’m hoping it will become 
the template for a rapid proliferation of chord-naming stylesheets, which will 
naturally include more conventional/accepted naming schemes.

Best regards,
Kieren.
