That would have been fine with me, but it's not worth the change at this point.

Nothing I can think of.  I would have also been fine with the preptool adding an "n-" anchor if one doesn't exist, and getting rid of sluggifiedName.  Actually, I could probably be talked into that now as a simplifying change (modulo whatever we learn from prototyping), if you think it's really important.
