RFCs are referenced by number. Standards are referenced by number. Nicknames are simply too ambiguous to be scalable. If you want a self explanatory reference, use the full PEP title, as that's what it is for (RFCs and standards also have titles for the same reason). Adopting a suitable set of keywords (like unicode, import, builtins, syntax, stdlib, cpython) could be interesting, though.
