There is not much user experience in this area to draw definitive
recommendations at this time.  If you could try the setup without and 
without modifying NameNumericTail and see if there are any problems, then

releases of the FAQ.  There might be even some bugs to correct in v2.0 
library and utilities, for that matter.
