The three forms are, in order of preference:
0NNNNNN with NNNNNN the (hexadecimal) OUI;
ABCDE (uppercase stock symbol);
abcde (any name that cannot be confused for the other two forms;
usually by making it lowercase).
The preference is in this order because OUI _is_ unique, stock ticker
will likely be unique (but not always!), and for random names there
is no guarantee or assurance at all.
I've never actually seen the OUI used, it's not very user-friendly ;-)
