I agree although this doesn't preclude target specific customisation
variables; it just means that each target would have to have its own
variable.  Maybe less aesthetically pleasing than a single org
intermediary but possibly easier to use...

Well, my case is the opposite!  I seldom want the names in the exported
output.  That's partly because I tend to name *every* code
block.  First, I use yasnippet to insert code blocks and it prompts for
the name; second, I find it good practice as I never know if or when I
might actually want to refer to the code block so naming as I go along
is most convenient; third, most importantly, it makes it possible to
jump to code blocks quickly in a large file!

I would be happy with this!

It would be nice but, at least for my use case, not necessary.
