Re: [irs-discuss] What's in a name?

[Acee Lindem <[e-mail]>]

I also have no problem with IRS as the WG name. Furthermore, I am confident that, as a magnanimous US tax payer, I have more than paid the royalties on the usage of the acronym. 
Having said that, the alternate name that comes to my mind is L3SDN. However, this may be considered a bit too broad.
