Yes - agree totally. I think the spec at various points says that the UMLS terminology identifier name should be used, but I don't think this is clarity enough - UMLS is a bit haphazard with how they name things. Would like to see an agreed upon list of canonical URI/URN for the terminology bindings that people are using in practice with real current terminology sources so that we can get some harmonization.
