I think I objected to such a formulation, requesting that the
precise procedure is documented for chosing the alias. I then
went on saying what the precise procedure is, and then an
argument about that procedure arose.

I still believe that the precise procedure should be documented
(in addition to saying that its outcome may vary across
installations).
