Yes. Quite agree. I suppose I am just asking that the engineers try to bear in mind somewhat the use to which this will be put ... and then I guess the marketing types can always come up with their version.
I too wonder if a simple "ACE" might work, and then have version numbers (or whatever) for technical reference purposes to differentiate one ACE from others?
