Either we need a generic "exclusion" container so that parent uFs can know to ignore potential duplicates in a child uF--which I
think is the heart of the "mfo" suggestion--or we need unique field names.

In short, that is because a uF can have sequentially embedded content that is not logically embedded. "mfo" would logically embed it
in a no-parse zone for current parents.  That sounds reasonable, but I think it is a "young" conversation that will take some time
to evaluate and work through its paces.

So, if hAtom uses "entry-title", why is "audio-title" bad?
