   Using getName() for lookup was first introduced as
an experimental practice and it's now recommended as a
best practice. 

   If getName() returns null than that's a critical
bug and the Luxor code needs to get fixed. I'd hoped a
Luxor user/developer would care enough to send in a
patch to fix/add the missing code. So far it looks
like everyone expects me to clean-up/fix the code.
However, I'm quite stretched and thus everything takes
way longer than planed (e.g. I'm currently working on
upgrading the build system to Maven before getting
back to coding).

  So if you feel courageous enough you're more than
welcome to add the missing code and fix the
outstanding getName() bugs. If you have a sourceforge
id and are interested in helping out, just let me know
and I will add you to the Luxor CVS committer list.
