I personally don't like the way that "..." looks. IMHO, it's just ugly.
But that's my main complaint with it, and it's just an opinion.
Hmm. Looking at http://namesys.com/v4/pseudo.html just reminded me that
the string "..." is also used as a placeholder for multiple unspecified
items (name1/name2/name3/ ... /nameN/name), and so writing "..." in a
manual/instructions could be confusing.
While I would much prefer ..metas or even .metas over plain metas, I
would have to agree with Hans that it is extremely unlikely that anyone
would actually use such a name. I don't think it's a showstopper.
