I see that no discussion was made of Security Considerations in this memo. Is there a similar memo wherein such a discussion occurs? It would seem important to consider the threat of intruders when naming a system - e.g., not naming a banking system "accounts" or even after a vendor's name, given that the intruder may be experienced with exploits particular to a vendor's application.
