While the "Burnt" in your proposal is lexically different from the "Burned" in r355, I'd still like to see something sufficiently distinct to avoid confusion, so that we don't have another situation like "thrown" vs. "thrown Elbonia-style". (I suppose we could replace the latter with "hurled", except that now we have beer we may need that word for something totally different...)
