That might be true.

I'm not sure I remember things correctly, but shouldn't your name
chooser verify and optionally accept ``name`` here, if you want the
user's desired name to ever be used?

IContainerNamesContainer means "the user will *never* get to specify the

will *always* be computed automatically by the name chooser."

Remove this interface and you will get your "Rename" button in the ZMI.
