I think `mode-line-subject-matter' is the worst name among all proposed
so far.  For the user wanting to customize the appearance of the buffer
name in the mode line, the face with `subject' or `matter' in its name is
the last thing to look at.

Meanwhile, I found that XEmacs uses the name `mode-line-buffer-id' to
highlight the string from the variable `mode-line-buffer-identification'
in the mode line.  It seems a good name.
