Personnally, I think it's weird to index every gui element.

However, after discussing with some doc users, I found out that many of them actually look for the button name when they do not know what it does, they do not look for the interface name. I tried to argue my point, but even if I still find it crazy, I have to admit that if that's what users need, I should just do it. I'm not there yet, but it's on my todo list now, should be done within a few months.
