[DDI-SRG] rehashing old discussions

[Wendy Thomas]

In doing the translation for 2 to 3 I did the following in terms of 
handling the @name for var (required), varGrp (optional), nCubeGrp 
(optional) and ncube (optional). I used a standard option of the Name 
elemnt in the identification standard content or Label. See example below 
from var.

s:StudyUnit/l:LogicalProduct/l:VariableScheme/l:Variable/r:Label OR r:Name 
r:Label OR r:Name	r:internationalStringType,  r:Label is extended to 
include @type and @maxLength if appropriate	May also use the Name in 
the Identification base elements

Is it wrong to provide this option? I have a slew of NHGIS where the name 
content is simply a replication of the ID content because its required. 
Personally when I tranlate these that's going right out the window. In the 
NCubes we used it for the table number which may make more sense as a 
label.

Thoughts? Sanda wants them all to go to Name rather than providing an 
option.
