I like Phil's schema better, since it eliminates the evil coupling between the ordering of the cmd-line arguments with the values we're trying to pass. So we'd have to change every ip-(up|down) script if the ordering ever changed. However, giving them names does introduce a new convention, namely the variable names themselves.

I wish they wouldn't do that. I guess it's for some kinda security? .....A. P.
