Hmm, so why do we have the separation between tracklist and recordings at all in NGS? If we want to always use the canonical name, then we can just have tracks, like pre-NGS. Wasn't part of the idea here to resolve the tension between "what it says" and "what it is"?
It's clear that there are different interpretations here and that the documentation needs to be updated so that it leaves little or no room for interpretation.
