  I think if we can combine the sharp analyics of Sune with my
  dull vision, we can do better than a fudge.

  First, maybe we can check if the x- attribute is in a cluster, and
  if that is the case, don't skip the strip. 

  Second, if we authorize name-last and name-first, as well as Doi,
  which I think we should as well, we can then preprocess a template
  from former x- to now allowable structures.
