I understand, that you have no intention of /replacing/ daX with /dev/usbX.Y.Z

My point was, the device's name should, if it is not too difficult, reflect 
its function. So, if a particular device is a printer, for example, it should 
be seen as /dev/ulptX in addition to being seen as /dev/ugenY or, 
indeed, /dev/usbX.Y.Z

We have /dev/cdX AND /dev/passY, for another example. Here is my `camcontrol 
devlist':

<COMPAQ RAID 0  VOLUME OK>         at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0)
<COMPAQ RAID 0  VOLUME OK>         at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (da1,pass1)

<MATSHITA DVD-RAM SW-9585 B100>    at scbus7 target 0 lun 0 (pass8,cd2)

But these are cosmetics, really -- paint this bikeshed any way you want, as 
long as the roof is not leaking :-)
