I don't think we want to make up w/a names. Might cause someone to
conclude that the w/a is no longer needed if they can't find the
name in the w/a database or bspec. So maybe just add a small quote from
bspec, or leave it without explanation forcing people to check bspec
if they want to find out why it's there.

I suppose one option would be to add a private namespace for our made
up w/a names. But I don't really see a point in making up w/a names
if we don't have a some documentation telling people what those names
actually mean.

So with the made up w/a name removed:
