With Adam's new "layer-memory" strategy, the shortnames (for entry) are looking more cryptic and confusing. For example, it is Bioclim_bio15, not Bio15.
As shortnames are an efficient way of entering layers, it may be wise to consider a systematic renaming that would make shortnames more intuitive?
For example, bio15, wbio15. "rhu215_i" doesn't strike me as natively intuitive.
Gavin: Can you have a think about this?
BTW: I have asked maragert, Kristen and Renee to provide more layer keywords.

Reassigning to Chris - I think Lee wants to rationalise the layer shortnames that are currently used (stored as name in layers table).

probably not time for this before June 30,2012 (but a good idea anyway).
