Agreed. "Socket Designation" seems to be a free format string at the whim of the board designer (and then interpreted and string filled in by a BIOS writer with all the usual caveats that implies).
I suppose a smart reporting system would try to query this stuff ahead of time to determine whether socket numbers were zero based, one based, or something else altogether (Socket A, B, C ????)
