Comment (by andy):

 Yes. It's trouble because sometimes a name is translated or changed. If
 that happens, the id changes and this makes previously saved versions
 impossible to find.

 This problem affects sidebars and widgets. That is, widgets registered
 with a translated name cannot be found after changing the translation or
 changing the blog's language. So widgets should be fixed as well. The fix
 I had for wordpress.com, and which was inadvertently copied into core, was
 to add a parameter similar to the sidebar id. I'm not sure how well that
 works right now, but it's the way to go. Names are for people to use and
 id's are for programs to use.
