Sounds interesting. What exactly is, or was, "the IBM naming authority"?

Names also have a lot of power as we all know. For example, I have wondered if the Java programming language would have become just as popular if it was released as "Oak", which I seem to remember was what the author originally wanted to call it. -Ralph
