A dangerous attitude if they don't get the picture right. :-)

I bet, in the end, the names will be dropped. We have a naming convention
that works well... in english. I'd hate to have to come up with similar names
in a dozen other languages. That, I think, is the reason there are now words
on the instructions. It avoids the language problem. I guess you have to put
something on the invoice though. I bet we end up with just set numbers.
