The problem is that there are different needs for different applications using
piece names. LDraw piece categories and sorting are based on the name, which
is why we have some rather tortured names--which wouldn't serve very well for
auctions, etc.
At the same time, if there were voting on standard names, and LDraw names
lost, does that mean LDraw names would be changed? The result to our
categories and sorting could be very bad.
Perhaps, though, separate LDraw and auction names could be chosen which are
obvious derivatives of each other.
