Thanks for looking, it's already a big job.

The one obvious thing not to include is the nameref stuff.  (That's in
any case not going to be perfect on its first release, so I don't think
it needs to have every possible tweak before it appears --- it can be
labelled experimental.  But if there remain obvious things to (re)implement
or test there it can certainly wait.)  Hopefully it's not significantly
affecting areas with other useful changes.

I can't offhand think of anything else that sounded much of a stability
issue, so just shout if you spot something.
