Hi Dale,
I agree ... we should make it mandatory.
Let's hear what the others have to say.

I think I’m generally +1 on this, though I think *optional* names may just
make it harder / less predictable to use these objects. Why not just require
names? This also relates to the usability of a batch request/response object,
and the ability to offer a get-item-by-name accessor, instead of just
get-item-by-meaningless-index :-)
Since a ResponseItem has an associated RequestItem, there seems to be no
need for it to have it’s own name (regardless of memory impact). Though for
convenience, it could still have a getName() accessor (that was just
getRequestItem().getName()).
