Um... no, that's exactly the opposite of why the question was asked. The UK (or GB) channel was opened *specifically* for local support/action/events, not primarily for language support, so we *do* want a locality/geographically-based channel identifier. Some other folks want language-based channel identifiers. Seems like we need a scheme that would incorporate both types of identifier, and maybe some explanation of the identifiers on the blog/chanserv/whatever. Also we've noted that we don't have a structure for naming ops and granting privileges and so forth - need to think about that before the trolls turn up.
