In addition to all the other advice you've gotten, be careful about using a code outside of your control as part of your labeling scheme. For example, there was once an engineer who thought it would be keen to base the name/address of devices to the telephone area code they resided in. It only took about a year before the local telco made area code changes rendering the use of the naming scheme meaningless. That was about 5 years ago and last I heard the scheme is still be used. At least the mistake is a standardized one. :-) John
