There are a number of parts that are named according to their use in a particular set. Trouble is, LEGO would then come out with another set that uses that part in a totally different way.

Once the numbering system is in place, we then can deal with the next sticky issue: part names. Since everyone will want their names to be the final name chosen, I would like to sidestep that issue - there should not be a final name chosen. But (...)
