David --

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is completely opposite of what was
discussed at puppet camp (which leads me to suspect that I'm not
understanding you correctly).

My understanding is that the situation can be broken down into several
steps:


   - Instead of having a single namevar, we have a non-empty collection of
   them, and two resources are the same if and only if all of them match.  Note
   that the present situation is a special case of this, where the collection
   always has exactly one member.
   - As currently, namevar is determined by the type.
   - Instead just of inferring the single namevar from the title we let
   types decompose the title into values for several (perhaps all) of the
   namevar components; note that the present situation is again a special case
   of this.
   - As a natural extension of the above, we discussed permitting Brice's
   hash notation in the same role.

At no time that I recall were we talking about "title generation", using a
generated title for uniqueness, or this just being a documentation
convention.
