Comment (by andy):

 On deeper review, I found [5348] to be more trouble. It's time to stop
 using Name for anything other than display.

 If a sidebar is registered with no ID, it will be given a number and
 dynamic_sidebar() must be called with that number. If it has an ID, it
 must be called by that ID.

 Numbered sidebars are ideal for most cases because they are more likely to
 convey when the theme is switched. If a theme uses IDs, other themes
 probably won't use them and the user will have different sidebars for
 different themes. If this is desired, use IDs.
