Hi,
I've been investigating the semantics of the name parameter within the 
wl_registry interface, prompted by a recent dialog regarding my patch of arg 
summary attributes in wayland.xml.

I've dug around the Weston source to see what values are passed as the name 
argument, and where it goes... and I'm at a bit of a loss. This argument is 
always an integer, and seems like it's just passed around and never even used 
for anything! I feel like I must be missing something, hence this question: 
what is this `name` argument in wl_registry_bind, wl_registry_send_global, and 
wl_registry_send_global_remove? Why is it called name when it is merely a 
numeric identifier? Shouldn't it be called `id`? 

I'd love to see where this argument is used within the weston source, so if you 
know a file:line you can point me to, I'll add one beer to your queue.

Thank you,
yong
