I like 'designator' as another possibility for the thing I was temporarily
calling an 'indentificator'; i.e. a name with no built-in properties other
than identifying one particular entity from a set of them.

I am fairly seriously opposed to having names for endpoints (as opposed to
interfaces) which have location information in them. I assume I don't need to
explain why?
