a question about dimensions...

Guys

I am not sure that 'named' is really a dimension.  

I understand focusing on time; focusing on a spatial area; and focusing on tracks.  These are indeed orthogonal axes.

But you use names to focus on a section, which seems to be a named time-subpart.

Specifically, can I use names for subsetting in any of the dimensions?  If I have a track called 'fred', are these equivalent?

Would it not be cleaner to allow selection by name on any of the three axes (i.e. named timed periods, named spacial regions, named tracks)?
