So you would call the last name “family-name”, the credit card number “cc-number”?

If you mix tokens and labels you really make it difficult to make understandable labels.

Even if it is a standard name for each purpose rather than the token, it would mean you can’t use “Your name” as the label for a field, you’d have to use “Name”, even if there were three different fields asking for different people.

Once we started going through the items, it wasn’t practical to simply use those as the AccName.
