A document is already have several names assigned to it (ripe-500 = Policy Development Process in RIPE) and has already put in different "categories" (Address Policy and Address Management Related Documents, Recently Published, Current Documents - concerning the ripe-500 example) and has several different meaning of access (web, ftp...). So it is not big deal to have one more "supername" near to the previous name. People who can't deal with simple understanding of "names" and "numbers" are not working with documents, explaining and regulating much more difficult and complicated things.
