And the ITA (or whomever) can't figure out a universal ISO-like
mnemonic scheme instead? Gimme a break. I don't believe that's a valid
arguement. If someone comes up with an internationally recognized set
of names for these 42 categories, I'll put those names in the draft
instead (except for .COM which has to be mapped to cat 42 in order not
to break the namespace).
