I don't see that coming ATM. There are at least two different interpretations of what RandR outputs actually are, both with different pros and cons. We had a discussion on the radeonhd mailinglist whether to move to the interpretation used e.g. by radeon, but that would kill a few special cases, and consensus (well, that might be too strong a word, say >50%) was that we should stick with the current interpretation, with slightly less complicated names.
