	It depends very much on what you see the name vs. the Text being useful
for. eg. with a label it has no name but uses the Text interface to
expose the text (typically).

	It would seem to me that a name is a static thing eg. 'Status bar'
whereas the Text interface exports something that can change - and the
status bar changes it's contents extremely frequently.

	It'd be good to firm up what the name is good for vs. the Text
interface.
