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.
