Well.. stock ticker is the new convention.  IEEE1275 used IEEE
assigned OUI strings (Organization Unique Identifiers).  Often those
are the same as the stock ticker, but not always.

Stock ticker is a good choice for new things, but for anything from a
vendor which has existing 1275 bindings for its products, I think we
should keep the original assigned OUI, even if it differs from the
stock ticker.
