Hi Angelo,

Thanks for taking a look at the changeset, at least!  I think that you 
are correct.  I would even go so far as to say that the change should be 
reverted, as it does not actually fix the *regression*, it works around 
it in a higher-level API.  As you say, this results in an incomplete fix 
for the issue since many applications may (and likely are) using `Name` 
directly rather than via SRVConnector.

I hope Ralph or Tom will chime in with their thoughts on this.
