Now you are going in circles.

Yes, give the user a tailored mapping, but nobody is served by everyone 
having to reinvent the wheel for the generic case.

So, some generic mapping (not built into the protocol, so it can, in 
fact be tailored) is clearly useful.

That people are too lazy / don' t know enough to tailor it, is  not the 
fault of a generic mapping.
