- The <STRONG>capname</STRONG> is the short name used in the text of the database, and is
- used by a person updating the database. Whenever possible, capnames
- are chosen to be the same as or similar to the ANSI X3.64-1979 standard
- (now superseded by ECMA-48, which uses identical or very similar
- names). Semantics are also intended to match those of the
- specification.
