I am not sure I buy the argument that we cannot eliminate the complexity, only
move it around.  We can fail to create the complexity and limit the
choices instead.
That may, in fact, be a good thing.

As an APPs guy, I'm pretty sure that handing applications something with
the semantics of "also known as" or "did you mean" is not going to result
in anything useful.  The semantics aren't clear enough to get consistent
results, at least in my opinion.  If we lose interoperabilty at the level we
won't be doing anybody any favors.
