Of course! It's important, after all.
I think it'd be fun if we made up a bunch of costumes like in a
medieval morality play, so that when someone has to take a personify
an aspect in a design trade-off, we can all know who they are supposed
to be.
"I am Ease-of-Use, with my Sceptre of Click-and-Drag and Cloak of GUI!
I demand the interface have wizards!"
"I am Flexibility, with my Text Edit-or and my Loadable Module! I
demand an extensible architecture!"
"I am Reliability, with my Rock of Solidity! I demand a constant and
repeatable path to the data!"
"I am Anonymity! And I TRUMP THEE ALL!"

Damn! It's the "Serapis" card. B-) This one always works on me.
