My name has a 'la' in it, which is forbidden outside of dotside,
which itself is not official yet.  Applying the naive algorithm, I
get some invalid combinations: npo and ost:

Alan Post => .a.la.npost

So I'll need to break those up by adding vowels to get at the valid
'pos' rafsi.  Given my name's fondness for the letter 'a', I'll use
that:

.a la na pos ta

inclusive-or name-sumti-tag negate ponse-rafsi(posses) that

-Alan
