Shipping Reorganization (suggestion)

There's a whole bunch of shipping tags, such as sonadow, on our site. This isn't directly a problem, yet. However, going forwards, I can see this being an issue because there is no one single way to name a ship pair. It would nice to have a way to have a good idea what a tag "ought" to be even if you don't know if anyone has ever drawn it.

My suggestion is to change all ship tags to the form:

A x B

where A and B are the accepted short names here on AMS, A is the name that comes first alphabetically, and B is the name that follows alphabetically.

Thus, if you wanted to see if a really rare ship existed, say Sally and Espio, you wouldn't be in the dark guessing Salespio? Salspio? Espally? Espially?" or searching sally acorn, esipo, shipping and hoping for results, you could just type in espio x sally and see if results existed right away.

Thoughts? Downsides?
