That's becuase I'm doing it stupidly :-). I think the way you are 
proposing above is better than my stupid way with a whole bunch of 
tags. So maybe we should just have:

<locus name = 'unix.utils.ls'>
<locus name = 'General.Constant'>
<locus name = 'IO.NetExec'>
<locus name = 'Logic.Mux'>

(to use some earlier examples) and just drop the whole module thing 
entirely (then we can drop <piperplugin> as well, since I just added 
that to have a root element). I like this a lot, as it will help get 
rid of a ton of my extraneous tags and attributes. Anyone else like 
this way better?
