I've not been following this closely, admittedly, but:

1) there needs to be one true set of unambiguous tokens that define 
different purposes (so that ATs/UAs/extensions know which exact "common 
purpose" a particular thing serves);
2) surely when people here talk about "mapping" they mean "whatever the 
host language uses in terms of its own unambiguous token mechanisms, and 
how these translate 1-to-1 to the tokens for purpose proposed in 1)"

Define "obvious name", in a way that is always unambiguous, to all 
ATs/UAs/extensions, in all possible languages. Without proposing a 
restricted set of token values.
