Ok, IMHO we chatted enough: there's no real reason to substitute "Final:". 
Any our "pop" colleague could surely provide an example of a "Title Part1: 
TitleSubpart: Subsubpart" I mean, ":" is proper for indicate parts and I 
don't get what is so wrong.

My two cents about MB "media": what could be done to avoid the fact that 
this discussion, whatever it reach consensus or not, could be not discarded 
and so reasked again before a year? I still think CSGD it's the best way to 
cooperate. It would be great if the proposers of a thread could put a couple 
of line there when done.
