It is named specifically to be the same as the enum member's name. There is 
another static function Spec::LocalZone() which is also named identically to 
another of the enum's members, and there are two static const member values 
in Spec which are named the same as another two members of the enum. The 
naming is to make clear the close relationship between the enum values and 
the Spec members - each of these Spec members returns an Spec instance of the 
appropriate type.
