Sorry, I was off all yesterday doing pre-Christmas things like watching
the Narnia film, buying a new jacket for my fussy teenage son, etc, So I
missed this discussion.

How about adding sound facilities to the ussc so that you get a verse of a
randomly selected Christmas carol every time you start up a starlink app
between 24th Dec to 5th Jan?

Hmmmm, not very festive.
So I have a couple of questions:

Presumably yes. It would be the simplest place to do it, but would have
the disadvantage of only applying to .sdf files which are accessed via
the NDF library. Done this way, I think NDG would not need any changes.
Also, SSN/20 has some discussion about resolving naming ambiguities
between file types and component names.
