Re: [idn] Renaming "AMC-Z"

Yes. Quite agree. I suppose I am just asking that the engineers try to bear
in mind somewhat the use to which this will be put ... and then I guess the
marketing types can always come up with their version.

I too wonder if a simple "ACE" might work, and then have version numbers (or
whatever) for technical reference purposes to differentiate one ACE from
others?
