I assume you're a pianist? I'm not. So a piano-centric naming scheme
would be of no use to me at all.

EVERYBODY understands middle C. EVERYBODY understands the concept of
"up" and "down" with respect to pitch.

Oh - and by the way, the 88-key piano is (a) a very young instrument,
and (b) not a particularly good example of a reference keyboard. There
are plenty of keyboards with different numbers of keys.
