I'd like to see the examples recommend its use in these cases.
I don't share this opinion, let's see if we can have some more feedback. While I would like to have the vendor|other info for stats purpose, discussions have made it clear that they are not worth the addition of a supplementary field. Furthermore, vendor and other were meant as prefix, which they are not in your samples. That would make another special case to explain.
