	I would agree with that... that goes along with my idea of using a
greeting to acknowledge that someone actually exists, and is a being
capable of language.  We could even go so far as to say,

<QetlhIS jupwI'!>

...yes, you exists, I know your name, and I'm pretty sure I know you can
use language.
