I guess some assessment needs to be made of how much scripting users are 
likely to have done based on the current set of linkprops. The current 
names were clearly chosen to be consistent with stats. and older 
drivers' ndd tunables. I think there is some merit in a newer scheme as 
you suggest, but consistency with older names/tools is clearly a good thing.
