This looks very worthwhile, Josh. It also looks like a lot of work. Are 
you suggesting that a similar approach be taken to all tables? If so, 
perhaps one of the first steps should be to prioritise, identifying 
which table specs would benefit most from this approach -- I think 
you're right in starting with the name table -- and if any don't really 
need it.

The criminologist's definition of 'public order
crimes' comes perilously close to the historian's
description of 'working-class leisure-time activity.'
