No, Simples inside a collection do not have an articleName, and at most
they would all have the same articleName (I'm actually not sure how the
registry code handles this at the moment... I suspect that it does
record the articleName of a Simple within a Collection if an articleName
has been provided at registration, but I know for certain that none of
my client libraries pay attention to it even if it is there, since it
was not *intended* to be used, nor meaningful).

I'll try to find this and fix it.

again... we really need someone to volunteer to take over the task of
re-writing and maintaining the documentation :-)
