Ok, I see. I think it would be nice if this could be changed in order
to avoid having to copy the #xxx-cells and xxx-names properties from

I'm not blaming you though if you don't want to go through the pain of
updating the spec though, and I won't complain loudly if you don't.

Maybe someone else has an opinion on the matter.
