Apologies Ethan,
maybe I could only see what is was expecting to see and didn't realise 
name was what I wanted.

Since I raised the topic , there are two things there the id and the 
title, name gets used for both.

Clearly id cannot have spaces so attempting a name with a space throws 
an error, though
" line 133: illegal javascript variable name" is a bit cryptic unless 
one is familiar with the mechanics of svg.

A title with underscores, though legible, is not too pretty. Would it be 
better to substitute spaces with underscores internally when composing 
the id and allow spaces in name, and hence the visible title?

Thanks.
