I think I am officially giving up trying to have a consistent naming. Is
dragging on since two years now. ARC tried to behave and rewrote all the
GLUE2 names to be consistent with the naming scheme. It seems to me that
most people coding GLUE2 never read the specs -- not even those who
WROTE the specs themselves!

Then I suggest we simply use

dpm
storm

At least let it be all lower-case as it is mandated by the schema
document (Appendix B in GFD.147 says "enumeration values MUST be
lower-case").
SToRM is absolutely not acceptable for me, since the schema is case
sensitive (remember my comments on case?)

what do you guys think? what do developers think?

Cheers,
Florido
