My view has been limited to the IBM platform.  According to the
examples, this is a recommended practice.  I know IBM uses the

to be a vendor identifier.  The actual format of that is allowed
to be basically anything, even by the OF standard itself.  The
less ambiguous formats are encouraged though...
