Agreed; it was just the best I could come up with that kept the
acronym PRA (not that that's essential)

I like both of those.

Ultimately it's just a name, and I don't _really_ care what it is.  I
can happily live with 'purported responsible address' as long as we
accept that it is simply the name for this identity, and not just a
term we use to refer to an (as yet unnamed) underlying concept when
we're unsure of its accuracy.
