What is a bad name for context? Does it have any consequences if badly named
files are used? Just being curious.
Bad names are names that can result i a miss when looked up on a case sensitive system. When you have a workflow where images come from e.g. graphic designers don't be surprised to get names with inconsistent casing, one of more spaces in a row, multiple suffixes (or wrong ones), etc etc ... now when images are referred to e.g. from xml files that also come from someplace it can get pretty hard to find where something goes miss. So, here we always normalize (az09-).

In a tex tree files with the same name can lead to wrong lookups depending on the order of configured paths. There context alway has had case insensitive lookups.
