To add qualifiers to every single group is just too much work to 
implement and maintain (several hundred occations.) Unless some kind 
and skilled programmer devise another syntax for defining groups, of 
course.

Even if we go with qualifiers instead, what do you think about the name 
change of Babylonian city style to Mesopotamian? More neutral, IMHO.
