Maybe for some Preview release?

When someone shares a collection in Candler and provides you with a
ticket to access the calendar from Cosmo via your web browser, the
default name for the calendar is whatever the collection was named in
Chandler.

You can change what you call this calendar using the Collection
Details dialog. Now that it has a new name you have no idea what it
was originally called, (but Cosmo does...)

Let's assume the Chandler owner of the calendar has 15 or 20 different
calendars she shares.  The casual collaborator using Cosmo to view the
pim collections also has a dozen or more calendars in their drop down
menu.  If there is an issue with an event in one of these it will be
VERY helpful to be able to inspect (via the Account Browser perhaps?)
from whom the original share came, and just as important, to be able
to tell that person what THEY named that collection (i.e. the name of
the collection so that they can find it in their Chandler sidebar).

To complicate matters slightly. The original person who shared the
calendar can "rename collection' in Chandler and sync with Cosmo. Now
Cosmo knows what that calendar was originally called and what it's
current name is in the owners account, and Cosmo still maintains the
sync link with whatever the calendar name is in the subscriber's
account. So when this happens, upon inspection Cosmo should be able to
tell the subscriber what the owner's current name is for that
collection not the original name.

Just a thought.
