My thought when we did this was that if a key was going to be a proposed standard, we would not use the [XYZ]# space for it. So rather than changing the text, why not just make the key "NodeArchitecture"? :-) My understanding is that existing implementations will (should?) react the same way to such a key as they would to X#NodeArchitecture (NotUnderstood), so we don't have an interoperation issue. If the group wants to stick with X#, I am not opposed to changing the text.
