For US cenus entries I record:

Date: the official census date
Place: the location
Notes: the enumeration date.

a) web page generation (needs some improvement).
Agree, but I haven't found any family history program that gets it right
(which is why I'm writing my own)
b) single event attached to multiple individuals.
Yes - one of the features I miss from my time using TMG
c) separate the program files
This is probably a Family Tree Creator (Broderbund) file. Suggest you try
to find someone who still has that software and ask then to convert it to
gedcom.
Alternatively there are agencies that will covert for you for a price.

With regards to names, the name I use in the primary name fields is the name

I think there are at least 4 logical places:
1) In the death notes
2) In notes to a funeral event
3) In notes to a burial event
4) if you want to be really precise, create a custom funeral
home/undetaker event. You could then use the event address to record the

I've had similar problems but not with Legacy. Generally running certain
