Re: Choosing a "short name" for our working group pubs

My suggestion for short name: "owl".

Another suggestion "owll" (two "L"s). This works  
indefinitely .."owlll" for the next one, etc. with no implicit  
semantics of major/minor.

Another suggestion: "wol".

Ooo, how about "lol"*

And my absolute favorite: "bijanisalwaysright".

Ok, that's not so short, so "bijanowl" would be acceptable!!

I'm sure there's *massive* consensus behind the last two!!!!!! Isn't  
in our charter? Actually, I believe the process document, when run  
through the appropriate secret decoder proxy server reveals there are  
*three* statuses that a WG participant can have with *three* sorts of  
fabulous prizes!:
	* Bad standing (you've be naughty! you only get a link of coal from  
Santa Tim)
	* Good standing (you've be nice! you get a lot of link "presence"  
from Santa Tim)
	* Bijan standing (you're me; I rock; I don't need no stinkin linkin!)

Bijan-standing is the last listed, so obviously the best. However, I  
think "good" would be a fine short name as well. "Bad" doesn't seem  
to be a, erhm, *good* idea for obvious marketing reasons...

...although, we could link it to Michael Jackson's "Bad"**, which  
would certainly have an interesting "viral" effect....

Hence my first one, since I strongly prefer reusing the old URI  
prefix. Actually, even across serializations.

Cheers,
Bijan.
