What you say is absolutely correct technically.  The only question was
since area-name is not contained in anything that is given to MapSource,
when mapsource sends a map to the device it can't use it.

However, I just remembered that when you are uploading maps with
mapsource you get a chance to type in your own name for the map set.
That name defaults to family-name.  If it can be confirmed that this
is the meaning of area-name then I will leave it in and document it as
such, but probably let it default to family-name instead of 'Area
...'.
