Based on a separate discussion with David H., I may defer this run
until GWT can allow a custom template option; hopefully in the coming
week. Although I would like to use the default Artwork template, these
oddities of automated formatting (mandated creator template, forced
filename structure, html codes rather than characters) are creating a
programming burden on my volunteer time that it would be sensible to
avoid.

None of the latter (mandated creator template, forced filename
structure, html codes rather than characters) are problems with the
{{Artwork}} template.
They are all design choices made by GWToolset, regardless of the
template used.
The filename thing can be worked around (or at least this is what I did
with the BL pics), by pre-processing the XML file to add a new field
your own filename, and then using this new bespoke field as the "unique
identifier". The downside (IIRC) is the GMToolset will still try to add
the "Title" field, so this needs to be left empty.
The FIXES needed to GWToolset that therefore suggest themselves are:
(1) Add a space either side of the hyphen, when creating compound filenames
(2) Add a checkbox, to turn off the creation of compound filenames, or,
alternatively, to enable the user to nominate which fields will be
compounded, rather than inevatibly using the title-field.
The html code thing is also something that needs to be FIXed. (IIRC, I
flagged the same thing six weeks ago, and eventually fixed mine with an
AWB run; but then I was only uploading 430 images).
GWT was also suppressing <br> and <p> tags when I used it. I don't know
if that is something it is still doing?
