Which explains quite a lot about the non-compliance of XST.
And, arguably, it doesn't matter, because the code has already been thoroughly
vetted in simulation, hasn't it? 

:-)

It does get a bit more interesting when there are similar-looking (but
different) entities with the same name, e.g. in different libraries, and XST
picks the wrong one...
