I think that overloading the name in such a way is only useful if both
2014-86-APWG and 2014-86-NCCSERVICES are possible. If the serial number of
a proposal is unique across the different working groups, I don't see a
need to include the WG in the name.

Otherwise we should also consider including things like the name of the
proposer, current stage of the PDP it is in, version, etc, etc :)
