There is nothing stopping us from having both a new DBR_xxx type and also a new
pseudo field name which has storage in the record description, but not in the record 
instance. It appears that there are important uses for both interfaces to the 
system (i.e. links use the new field names, and general purpose clients that do not
wish to break when the PV name syntax varies will use the new DBR_ type).
