+1 from me as well, assuming that we can migrate the existing
alternative names to whatever object replaces it. Also, if you can
look into how  we can match on these names during import, similar to
DHIS 1.4, this would be very useful in hetereogeneous, data
warehousing situations where multiple data bases feed DHIS2, but which
may have slightly different names of the same data element.
