Now this might very well be something to consider: an user interface
that would allow for mounting an attachable storage device under a
fantasy name (something like "you have mounted a new storage device:
we will automagically name it <whatever>. Do you want to change its
name?").

This might be a bit more complex than it looks, but there is, I
think, a potential casual-user benefit... instead of /media/<HUGE
uuid>, something that can, indeed be remembered -- and intuitively
understood.
