The judgment between WAD and BAD should strongly consider
consistency with the behavior of BLDL which most utilities still
use to look up catenation members.  By this criterion, DDLIST
and DESERV are both BAD.

Hmmm... Will BLDL and DESERV report mixed-case names,
easily created in a PDS with STOW or with Binder, and even
more easily in UNIX directories?  IIRC they do appear in ISPF
member lists.

And how will BLDL treat UNIX members "WOMBAT" and
"WOMBAT ", the latter having a trailing blank, which is
not portable but possible?
