For those who are interested (and thinking about implementing naming systems like this), I'd also recommend this post by Paul Crowley: http://www.lshift.net/blog/2007/11/21/squaring-zookos-triangle-part-two In addition to proposing his own system, he also makes two interesting points about the problem: - Zooko's triangle actually has 4 properties, but people generally treat one of them as essential and don't mention it - Instead of entirely dropping one of the properties of a naming system, you can make a tradeoff. By lowering (but not eliminating) the memorability of a name and the security of the system, you can still keep all the properties Overall, I still like petname systems more than the one that Crowley proposes, but it's more food for thought which is always nice.
