The reference note - middle C=C4 - is illustrated next to "The Clarinet BBoard" near the top of the bboard page. My questions notwithstanding - I was only curious - C5 is much shorter than any combination of terms as you suggest. It doesn't take any real effort to learn the nomenclature - middle C is C4 and the letters refer to written, not sounding ("concert") pitches.

You only need to read the questions here for a long enough time to realize how difficult verbal descriptions of notes can be to decipher. The next easiest alternative to numbered octaves is to describe where on the treble staff (for clarinet) the note is written. "C two leger lines above the staff" is much longer to type and read than "C6" but at least it avoids register designations (is that still 2nd register? Then you need to differentiate it from C5 - 3rd space from the bottom). I would have to scratch my head for a few seconds before I'd understand that this is the note (C6) that you describe as "2nd register open C." For some reason, "2nd register" and "open" don't play together well in my brain.
