Actually there was a very good article, referenced by many, about there being
three kinds of names, and that you can only have two of the three at any time.
   Anyway, we would need a mix of name types in Xanadu, and more than just
private and global.  But yes, using domain names to quality names is a long
established tradition on the Internet, for XML DTDs, Java modules, etc.

Drat, I can't find it again - I thought it was on the E language page but
apparently not.
