My thought when we did this was that if a key was going to be a  
proposed standard, we would not use the [XYZ]# space for it.

So rather than changing the text, why not just make the key  
"NodeArchitecture"? :-) My understanding is that existing  
implementations will (should?) react the same way to such a key as  
they would to X#NodeArchitecture (NotUnderstood), so we don't have an  
interoperation issue.

If the group wants to stick with X#, I am not opposed to changing the  
text.

Take care,

Bill
