If we are going to make any such change, we should probably make it
globally.  Having only one document use this convention adds needless
complexity to our processes.  I'm not opposed to doing this, but it
needs to be a global decision either way.

Tommy, although this would necessitate some changes (obviously),
wouldn't it make some of the scripting easier in the long run?  IOW, I'm
thinking of the recent deal with having to put naming conventions in
place for figs/ stuff, which you solved of course, but wouldn't this
alleviate that problem and make such a situation less likely for other
processes we might invent later?
