UK LOM
gives UK context to the LOM
does it need to do anything else?

I am fed up with TLAs too. I vote for UK LOM.

Well yes, but the 'L' from LOM would do just as well.

But it *is* a profile of the LOM, so I don't see the advantage of keeping a
name with a broader focus. I quite like UK APLOM, but with two
reservations: I seem to remember Andy commenting at a SIG meeting that
it's not an *application* profile (since we expect applications to refine
it further--sorry if I'm misrepresenting Andy here); more importantly, it's
yet another acronym, and I'm getting bored with acronyms. So "UK LOM
Profile" gets my vote, and if anyone says UKLOMP then I will 'clomp' them
:-).
