Universal name would be harder.  Augmented name would 
sound like an Englebartism.  Enhanced name sounds like a 
stereo processor.  None of these is more or less indicative 
of what it does AFAICT than what is there.

IMO, they are the same topic:  churning to get it perfect 
for any case real or imagined over keeping it stable 
to allow products to ship.  If this were a catastrophe 
making quality defect, I might think it important.

I guess I should backtrack and see if the question 
is more one of explanation over inventing a new 
name for the spec or adding to the ever expanding 
acronymy given an overburdened technology but it's 
Friday and I have to go mow the lawn before the 
rain comes back.  The neighbors are eyeing me. :-)

It's not a problem until you have to explain the two at the same time to
somebody.

I think that's a different topic, no?
