I actually think that "being named in only one way" should be out of our
scope.   That is a rather heavy requirement to impose on a system, one
that requires users to come up with mapping.  In the same time, it does
not buy
You much more in terms of expressiveness for the hierarchical policy.

It seems a little bit ambitious to try to define a universal naming
scheme, especially when it is not generally needed:  for
interoperability it is no harder to use some particular naming
convention for hierarchy, - one has to use "some" naming convention in
any new system anyway. 

I would think imposing some mandatory format for the identifier is, how
would they say - "unduly burdensome"  :)

Daniel.
