The thing that's going away is an underlying mechanism to generically 
provide names for any repository item.

However, the displayName attribute on ContentItem is *not* going away. 
We still need a dynamic mechanism to provide localized sampleText for 
the title field ("title" by default, overridden to "subject" for things 
stamped as mail).
