AFAICS that script simply generates the menus
from the node names.  It doesn't touch section
names.

I don't see what difficulties arise from having
section names that differ slightly from the node
name, other than maybe a doc editor looking at
the section name rather than the node name when
writing a cross-reference.  This would soon be
picked up as a broken ref.

Unless there's a sound reason for this restriction
I'd rather go back to permitting commas in section
names.
