Maybe that's what we'd have done with hindsight, but given that the chances of
qqq ever being moved to x-doc are essentially zero, creating inconsistency
purely for the sake of having one at a more convenient title is not worth it. 
It's not *wrong* for them to be in the "qq-" range, but it *would* be wrong for
them to be needlessly inconsistent.  Plus that range has been *explicitly*
reserved, so we're covered for the future.

I think watching what falls apart when bad assumptions are made about input
integrity, and then fixing them, would be a valuable exercise in its own right.
