Only obvious if one can eliminate all the other possibilities, which I
had no basis for doing since I didn't know whether this was something
new in the announcement or something I might be missing elsewhere.

I'd appreciate if the writers of the announcements could take this
potential confusion into account in future; it would be entirely
alleviated by simply using the same names as are given in the
instructions.
