I have implemented most of the changes you mentioned, and I'm now working on the test.
To answer you question on #6: The IPC spec requires Aliases to be composed of: "NNAME" + 5 chars, so with the termination we get Nname[11].
Your question got me to look back at the spec and discover that net names can't have spaces in them. So I added code to replace spaces with underscores in the netlist.
I will post the patch when I'm done with the test.
