The last time around in the discussion about the astral planes,
I warrant one of the favored terminologies was:

Planes 1-16       "astral planes"
Planes 17 and up: "ethereal planes"

--Ken

P.S. Those character encoding souls of a more mundane bent, however,
have rejected the poetry in favor of "supplementary planes" for
Planes 1-16 -- and we don't talk about the other planes. I suppose
they could revert to "unnamed planes", or merely, "Here be dragons."
