Kind of like the Austin Healey Sprite, who knew we would need to call it
a Mark I?  Nobody puts a I after, until there is a II.

Today is Veterans Day, which was originally called Armistice day to
commemorate the signing of the Armistice which ended the World War.  The
combatants were so confident they had worked everything out they thought
this holiday would commemorate the end of all war, and even dared,
originally, to not put a big roman numeral one after the words World
War.
