   Re: "I wish someone would make a proposal
   for generic pathnames.  I don't think they ever got the consideration
   they deserved."

   There are several issues waiting a "pathname" committee to study them
   further. They include: 

   PATHNAME-COMPONENT-CASE, PATHNAME-LOGICAL, PATHNAME-SUBDIRECTORY-LIST,
   PATHNAME-SYNTAX-ERROR-TIME, PATHNAME-WILD, STREAM-CAPABILITIES,
   TRUENAME-SYNTAX-ONLY

   Frankly, I don't know what  "generic" pathnames are, so I don't know how I
   could have considered them. Are they the same thing as "logical" pathnames?

Yes, I meant to say logical pathnames.
