So the names would need to be out of some reserved namespace like hdX,
sdX and vdX only? Or can I choose freely and call my disks "net" and
"vnc" and have them conflict with the respective existing options?

Also, when discussing the syntax, don't forget that there also is
-usbdevice disk: which would need to be changed in some way, too.
