... gives you the name in some *specified* parent rev, meaning, take this name, look it up in that rev, and get the node id. At least that's how I understand it.
 
You can use that before invoking this log, or log could do it
automatically.

I would argue log should do that automatically.

Any given name can map to many different node ids through time.  Should log include *all* of them? It might take some time to load every historical roster and check to see if the specified name maps to a known node there.
