As much as possible. But there's a chicken and egg problem. The 
spec-generator is essentially meant to be used with Echidna, which means 
it needs to override the previousPublishDate upon generation. In order 
to find that, it needs the shortName so it can look it up.

This requirement is likely to be lifted for other users as the 
spec-generator is made more generic. It is also likely that ReSpec will 
gain the ability to automatically set previousPublishDate and 
previousMaturity itself, but that will have to wait until this 
information is exposed in a format more usable than a big RDF dump.
