David, Renaming the driver at this point should be ok. The driver name is mainly used for creation operations so if we don't yet support creation it isn't going to break existing scripts when it changes. If it would break a lot of stuff, I'd have suggested registering it twice - once under each name. I'm looking forward to improvements. I presume you are in communication with Jorge who has done most of the previous work, right? I think he mentioned the two of you are collaborating.
