I remember an earlier discussion of this, which I think concluded that
we want to keep the worksheet names independent of file system naming
conventions. I would also be in favour of unique, static directory names
that show up in the front end. The user could still add more descriptive
names in addition to the directory names, but it would be nice if we
could refer to other worksheets by their names. The next step would be
to create scripts that check any cross-references if a worksheet is
re-named; probably not an easy task (?). And if we are at that, I would
really appreciate a way of referring to particular cells in a worksheet
by their labels (e.g. \ref{ws:mass_balance1, cell:dMdt}). Maybe a script
that goes through a whole notebook and checks cross-references in all
work sheets could then also convert such labels to consecutive numbers,
similarly to LaTex (?).
