It's not really though. In the majority of cases when you talk about a name
you need to talk about a language too. Especially if CRM wants to be
inclusive etc. We have a subclass 'title' of appellation that does allow
but it only works for inanimate objects. So it is useless as a general
case. The use of E33_E41 should be a default in most modelling cases with
E41 being the exception (mostly names are in a language). The general idea
of a name in a language is not an arcane concept, but the majority concept.
Needing to use an arcane construct either E33_E41 or multi instantiation
for the majority case when the standard could just provide the appropriate
class and document it and allow people to build around it, would be a
superior way to go imho.
