Yes, I am coming over to this point of view. I just quite liked the
compactness and clarity of the initial proposal but it might not be a good
trade-off to make in this instance.

I think people tend to overcomplicate things a bit. These are just some
fields names that we all use but call different things.

After a few weeks I will make a final document. It would be nice to put up
on kicad-pcb.org somewhere to link to when people ask about it suggested
field names to use as defaults in their application.

I am not proposing to add anything to KiCAD at this point. Simply to make a
document that describes "standard" field names that the community has
agreed on. People can chose to use the standard if they wish.
