I think actually *naming* the proteins would be too extreme. Even the current alpha-numeric system is overwrought. I liked it better when we just called proteins "p75" or "p105". For instance, how many proteins in the human genome are 75 kD, anyway? My guess is not enough to make the situation ambiguous in any catastrophic way.
