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. * Im in ur yrispace doin' ma bizniz! **Lyrics: http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Michael-Jackson/Bad.html Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSWLKQMN34Y
