I'm confused. 

1. I don't think more than one 'name for display purposes' should be
   required.
2. Any property sent in the options for a layer is set as a property
   on that layer, which can be taken advantage of by any controls, etc.
   (See attribution.html example, for example.)  
3. I don't see what UI element would display anything other than 
   'name' with the current code.
