When I mentioned this a few years ago it was pointed out to me that the 
current system works fine, as long as you don't mind using property names to 
represent something that they don't exactly name.

I also prefer pitch-trim-cmd-norm, but be advised that this will break all the 
existing model configurations and AeroMatic.
