Strategically, some CWG people believe it's a bad approach that names have linkage; instead, entities should have linkage. I haven't seen a comprehensive fix for that, yet, though. |

Do you object to moving the current text to at least improve clarify of the current specification? It would then be easy to move the parapraph down a couple of lines if and when we apply it to entities instead. |
An essential property of names is that they have linkage. Move the statement that names have linkage up from [basic.link] to [basic.pre] where the term `name` is defined, and before the references to linkage of names in the clauses between [basic.pre] and [basic.link].
