Clarify Name line

The MPD example wouldn't be a good idea. The correct name is the 0 FILE name; anything else is, well, just a potentially-unreliable decorative comment. Don't get me wrong, I love decorative headers. If you ever look at my source code, you'll see it's absolutely drenched with them. But that doesn't change the fact that they have no syntactic meaning.

This is all pedantry, by the way. The header specification may call for whatever it wishes. Just don't write software which assumes the name of the file is anything other than what the filesystem (or 0 FILE) says it is.
