Hello Daniel,

As unknown capability are ignored anyway, from a technical point, I see 
no problem with the capability presented.
It would be trivial to implement (only speaking for myself here).

In time of outage when quick debugging is the most important and when 
DNS may not be reachable ( been there, seen it ) having the “commonly 
used name” of the remote device does sound like a bad idea ( I could 
only remember so many IP ) but I appreciate it is an area where 
individual opinion will differ widely.

Thomas
