the (as i see it) inconsistency is that it's not clear whether a
layer name *must* begin with the prefix "meta-". if one says that
something happens "traditionally", that suggests it's not mandatory,
simply a matter of custom.
i'd prefer that that section was explicit. you can never go wrong
being explicit. :-)
