 We could change the keys in the bandwidth file, or we could leave them as
 they are, and document the abbreviations.
 I am not sure if changing the keys is worth it. We would also have to
 change the spec.

 juga, do you think that changing the keys will make sbws a lot easier to
 maintain?
 If it won't, or if it will take a lot of time, we should just focus on
 fixing bugs and deploying sbws.

 irl, how much work have you done on parsing the bandwidth file?
 When would be a good time
