I can live with it.  I just tossed out these alternative SIG names to
stimulate others to think about issues other than just 2-D plotting.
(I don't expect any of them to be adopted and used as the name of the
SIG.)  I think we should consider how our work may possibly affect the
inevitable next step of developing a scientific visualization package
for Python.
