glyph names for accents

Hello,

1) the file t1.enc has definitions like:

\setslot{\lc{Grave}{grave}}
   \comment{The grave accent `\`{}'.}
\endsetslot

which means that for normal T1-encoded font the glyph will be named
`grave', and for caps-and-small-caps T1-encoded font, the glyph will
be named `Gravesmall'.

But the EC fonts, which are the prototype for the T1 encoding, use the
same accent, grave, in both `normal' and `caps-and-small-caps' fonts.

So, should the above be changed to just the following?

\setslot{grave}
   \comment{The grave accent `\`{}'.}
\endsetslot

(and similarly for other accents).

2) the file ts1.enc has definitions like:

\setslot{capitalgrave}
   \comment{The grave accent `\capitalgrave{}', intended for use with
      capital letters.}
\endsetslot

but this glyph name is not standard (which is the Adobe Glyph List),
and should be changed to Grave:

\setslot{Grave}
   \comment{The grave accent `\capitalgrave{}', intended for use with
      capital letters.}
\endsetslot

(with the corresponding changes to textcomp.mtx)

Comments are appreciated.

Best,
v.
