All kinds of information is packed in those names. I am not doing any cleaning (yet) until all this information can be stored in proper tags and is handled or scheduled by significant renderers/data users/tools. There must be reasons for this (ab)use, because it is done all over the globe. <div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It's very common to store <from>-<to> and sometimes <via> in the name tag.
