Yes, which is why I feel the API for name() isn't ideal, but thought it 
would be best to play along. Would having a new scientific_name() method 
be better, which gets/sets a single value? Perhaps it could just be a 
more 'sane' shorthand to setting @{$node->name('scientific')} to a list 
with only the supplied name, and getting ${$node->name('scientific')}[0] ?
