One of the possibly amusing things that struck me lately is that marking out the string even more clearly for this purpose might take some of the venom from the sting. In that context, let me ask whether _alt or even _ would be better labels for this purpose. Part of the goal has been to make these strings usable in applications (in "domain name slots", as 5890 calls them). Would "_" work? Would "_alt"? I have doubts, but I thought I'd ask.
