Now I'm wondering what VR means. "Very R..."? And is band of "VR" a reasonable thing -- is VR a generic concept?

My guess is that it covers both V and R: it's ~500-750nm. Sadly, the webpage I linked doesn't specify where the name comes from. I don't think it's a generic concept, but we'd want to ask a DECam person what they'd call the "band" for this one, if we don't want to go with that. Certainly, "vr" is unlikely to be a confusing band name elsewhere.
