Lifting this comment for more discussion if people are interested.

Given that we use underscores in a lot of component names I'm not sure what we can do about this problem. Seems too late to back out of it, but I'm open to create suggestions.

That ship has sailed. You might be served if you can strip the leading parent.name. Presumes you have access to such.
