As a previous editor of the "Tao of the IETF", I assure you that cute names 
have a shelf life much shorter than we expect. Also, SIP was a *much* longer 
list of RFCs than DNSSEC is, and RFC 5411 was Informational. No one else in the 
IETF has adopted that naming convention, which I think is appropriate given how 
excellent the four books in the HHGTTG trilogy are.
