Yes, that works. The definition fits very closely, it appears in an
official document, and the connection between the name and what it
signifies is pretty logical.

Not as logical as exanded name, but if it had been in official use I
think I would have accepted it. I prefer expanded name, though.

Thanks a lot, both of you!
