Won't the context tell it apart?  When you expect a pci function, 
'class': 'video' means one thing, when you read a buffer it means another.

The only reason to use a special name is if it's a protocol level 
feature that can happen in all contexts.  But in that case we're better 
off with a schema, we don't want to push class descriptors everywhere.
