Wow - what a thread about such a simple concept as a name!!!!

But to inject a lateral thought.   I think the protocol name
should be a URL (kind of in the same way that DTD's and style sheets
are specified by URI).

Otherwise we are going to have problems with uniqueness and allocation
of protocol names - and will have to have central authorities policing
them etc.

If we make it a URL, then we have uniqueness and the URL can point
to a webpage that describes the protocol.

cheers
