Are you suggesting we buck any ugliness of the xml field names and choose the most consistent and elegant ones we can think of?!  :D :D

Are you implying I'm too verbose?  If so - you're right.  And I like how you put it.  Yes.  Just because many people have tried it different ways doesn't mean they had the liberty to think of good, clear names that make researchers happy.  But that's exactly what our mission is here - so let's make researchers happy.
