But I, at least, was trying to design something that could apply to
any name.  There's a recursive problem with underscore labels for this
use, because by defition they can't work for every case (at the very

already 253 octets long)

I'm aware of the difficulties.  See upthread where I talk about the
deployment incentives and where the pain happens.
