Ooops, sorry. That first sentence of mine should say: 'We were talkign 
about I/O IDs.' We were talking about the same thing, Jean-Marc, I 
just wrote the wrong thing in my reply to Jeff. *smack self on 
forehead*. I apologize for being confusing. In our discussion we were 
talking about naming I/Os, and didn't talk about naming Nodes at all 
(at least, I wasn't talking about it :-). I'm completely on the same 
page with you in terms of using input/output names and not ids. Okay, 
stop writing now Brad, before you screw up again...
