[CF-metadata] a different (but perhaps unoriginal) approach to standard name construction

One last note re developing a comprehensive system for naming
concepts: As previously noted, I would love to see this. It is the
right and necessary thing to do in the long run.
But I do not think CF is necessarily the right organization to take it
on now, because it will be extremely difficult and time-consuming, it
should have a much wider level of participation than just CF, it will
take a lot of energy away from current CF efforts, and it actually
moves away from CF's original goal, which was to provide community-
friendly names. Even if someone said this is the only way to achieve
my bullet priorities -- and it may be -- I would discourage CF from
taking this on until it can add a lot of communities and funding to
the process.
