I'm a bit lost on the intended meaning behind the name: <foo> strings. Do you want <foo> strings to indicate all strings in the MPI tool information interface that are by our definition in 14.3.3 treated differently than in the rest of the standard? And then have a concept of identical <foo> strings and specify what is returned in the user's buffer for identical <foo> strings? Or is <foo> strings supposed to only indicate strings that if identical, have a particular defined behavior that determine what is returned into the user's buffer according to our string conventions in 14.3.3? Thanks, Kathryn

- so up in 14.3.3, have a definition for "<foo> strings" (someone come up with a better name than "<foo>"):

MPI_T strings?

Mmm. That would imply that these are the *only* type of strings that are used in MPI_T. That may be true today, but I don't know if we want to be locked in to that generalization for forever.

How about "MPI_T universal strings"?
