Why not? If it's keyed off the device driver name, everyone can maintain their own pool of identifiers (like, say, FT001->FT999 for the mythical Promise FastTrak ["We don't support Linux" was the huffy reply I got. That's okay, for I know what the Windows driver interface looks like.] driver.) And then write their own little identifier->message array.
