  Correct.  However, for those command, the issue is simpler - there is only one 
object being activated in question.  Arguably, the rename command could work 
similar, something like

rename 'chain mail' to 'my favorite armor'

  where the rename command looks for an item that matches 'chain mail'.  This 
probably makes more sense.

  If your 100% keyboard prone, your using the text version of mark item which is 
doing the same matching.  If your using the mouse, then some better interface 
can be used (it can send the item tag for the object selected).

  Used to be bugs with that - they should all be fixed.

  for books/scrolls, code is checked to make sure there are no 'endmsg' values. 
  Beyond that, most anything is ok.

  For object custom names, you should be sure that the new name is only 
printable characters (no line feeds, newlines, etc).
