I'm just wondering when the IAU will get around to assigning names to the new features found on the Saturnian satellites by Cassini. Titan has gotten names, but what about the other moons? It would make discussion a whole lot easier if we had names for, say, the features within Cassini Regio.

I think that -- at some point -- we are going to have to start grasping the nettle and giving features simple letter-and-number IDs (as we have for a long time with stars). Given the staggering swarm of separate terrain features that are now being located, we are simply going to run out of names.
