Why would we assume that?   Devices have names.   My phone has a name, my laptop has a 
name.   How else would I know which device I was talking to?   I don't want my phone to 
just be "iPhone" in the discovery list.   And if it has a name, I want it to 
have the same name everywhere.   Adding an extra layer of indirection doesn't make that 
problem any easier.


Indeed. I wonder how people would feel about fungible services like,
oh say, "toothbrush".
