Short is good as a general guideline, but it's hardly synonymous with clarity or succinctness! If we want shortish, succinct, names, then clearly we can review new names, and change them when they're too long. This is no different than what happens for the 8.3 restrictions, except that the criteria for judging will be actually be _relevant_ ("does this name suck?") rather than being based on bill gate's brain tumor 30 years ago. -Miles -- "I distrust a research person who is always obviously busy on a task." --Robert Frosch, VP, GM Research
