The discussion was rather length and technical, but there are use cases where you want to drive the analog pins of e.g. and DVI-I connector differently from the digital pins. That's not possible if outputs and connectors are mapped 1:1. But why do you insist on standardized names? As long as the names resemble something user can understand, the exact names shouldn't matter. Selecting outputs by properties (connector or signal type) might be something interesting for generalized scripts.
