I'm immensely relieved to hear Steven say that.  It had
never crossed my mind that it might be otherwise, but some
of the recent discussions had caused me to question it.

That still leaves the question of whether it's OK to
backtrack - having found a candidate starting point for
the name search by floating up the hierarchy, are you 
prepared to try again (continuing to float upwards and then
Redo From Start on finding another, ancestor candidate) if
the remainder of the name is not a valid downward path
from your candidate starting point?  Again, I've never
been 100% clear about that.
