Counting from zero instead of one... unnatural for non-programmers.
Why do these names need numbers in them when there is only one of each sort?
There can be more than one. On DCE3.2 there could be 6 (theoretically).
Well, on a given piece of hardware with one physical port soldered to it, there cannot be more than one physical port. So for all those pieces of hardware which only have a single one of each connector type, there is no real need to add any numbers to these strings. Hotplugging displays is real, but hotsoldering signals or connectors probably is not :) -- Hans Ulrich Niedermann
