The documentation spoke of the attribute being set "to" a path; this can
mistakenly be interpreted as "the attribute needs to have its value set to
some kind of path". This clarifies things (and also calls the object ID a
hash rather than a name because that might be confusing too).
I'd agree with the first change, but not with the second. "object name"
has been the official name of these hexadecimal thingy for a long time
(see the glossary).
