Note that I am not advocating the canonical names, but rather 
case-insensitive case-preserving ones. There, the "junk" affects the 
string representation of the node, so it is relevant. If we chose to go 
the "canonical" route (using realnames for nodes that do exist, or 
somthing of sorts), then, indeed, there would not be a point in keeping 
the "junk" around. In that case, however, it is not clear whether we'd 
want to keep the sensitive names anywhere, so, again, it is not clear 
why we'd want to keep two different types...
