Don't name the URL for a sub-site 'CON' in MOSS 2007

In trying to create a team site for a department called …/Commercial/Content, I use short names (e.g. …/CML/CON). Apparently CON is some kind of a system no-no. I have not searched on this problem, so there may be information posted out there on this issue somewhere:

When creating a site in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, the URL cannot be …./con

The system allowed me to do it, and it created the site, but the page was 100% blank.

Microsoft, how about popping up an error or something when an illegal system name is used, rather than allowing the site to be created?
