It's an interesting approach.

I, too, don't like the Overly Long And Wordy Verbose Tautological
Point-Making approach to naming schemes.

The community is harmed more from not having the code than by believing a
consensus opinion will form in an open-email-list community process.

We can survive with calling them all "Onion Services" with "Hidden" and
"Open" variants if, though I despair that "Open" is an essentially
meaningless label which requires clarification and explanation.

But then perhaps that's what's needed?  Nobody seems willing to make a call
on the Tor side, and the rest of us here are just spinning our wheels.

Let's go with the "mediocre-but-at-least-it's-short".
