MNTNER objects. There was talk of a prefix (MNT-) or a suffix (-MNT). When creating a new standard it doesn't really make sense to introduce a standard with multiple formats. As there are currently 36347 MNTNERs that end with -MNT and 12480 MNTNERs that start
with MNT-, we suggest that the standard should be to end with -MNT.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#26282A;"></span></p>
