Of all the proposals so far name='a.b.c' seems like the most natural
one. I'm not sure we really need to warn about id='a.b.c'
path='/a/b/c'. The one thing we should warn about is 'implicitly
relocatable' schemas (ie forgotten path). That warning will only annoy
the few people who actually want to make their schemas relocatable -
ie very few.
