Forget about Delphi.  I suspect that Delphi Communications, which is
working on their own networking projects (and sees some of these
communications) would take exception to the choice.

IDNET somehow seems kinda, well, I dunno, un-classy.
ARACHNET is cute but something that would cause more jokes
 than serious consideration in the real world.

I don't think we should rush into the naming business.  The network
will hold together long enough with its current name for a more
reasoned consideration of choices to be made.  This is certainly
a topic that can be brought up at the January Usenix meeting ... I'll
do it myself there if I have to.

Let's give everyone a chance.
