Steve is adding something new here it seems, so change is probably needed to 
get it..
I get a vision of top level netnames overriding, so the bus to pins connections
of sub modules are all that determines the netlist.  Renaming is the thing that 
is new and not done before
as far as I can see.  I"m interested to hear more about the re-netnaming 
concept.

With chip design style netnaming, you can use a wires only module to rearrange 
and change names.  Starting with
a bus called add-io-data<0:28>, you can plug it into a module that does nothing 
but rename and has straight through wires, maybe 
with different groupings.
Then the outputs have new names.  The top level names in the hierarchy are 
still going to be part of the netlist, so you could use 
them as the netnames.  A bus ripper sounds like a wires only module to me.  Am 
I warm?
